Yes, when he really likes something. But whether he really likes it or not, he, and the kids, always thank me for their meal. I do not feel under-appreciated in this area. But, I do, more often than not, make a point of cooking things I know they like so more often than not, they love their meal. Occasionally, like the other night, I made a minestrone soup for supper. It's a meal I love. And occasionally they can eat something I really like. The kids still thanked me for supper even though it wasn't a favourite and DH did that "yummy food in my mouth" sound. That is very gratifying. Most other nights I provide things they like, that includes meat. I'm a vegetarian.
I think it would be hard to keep making an effort in the kitchen if it weren't ever recognized or outwardly acknowledged. Why not just have a conversation with DH? People aren't mindreaders. You have to tell them what you need if you want your needs to be met.

He has a mother who is an amazing cook. I am not so amazing. But his compliments encourage and motivate me, and I have improved dramatically over the years with my cooking.
