Try substituting the unhealthy ingredients in recipes with healthier ones. That's the best way to go. I just made some hot chocolate with lowfat milk and Splenda and it was pretty good.
My husband is a picky eater too. Here are some of the things he likes:
1. Mashed potatoes mixed with mashed carrots.
2. Black beans and rice mixed with mild salsa.
3. Salad with cottage cheese for dressing.
4. Yogurt with fresh fruit and honey drizzled on top.
Substitute for example milk instead of cream, or if the recipe calls for whipped cream, buy whipping cream instead of double cream as it has only 30ish% fat instead of around 40% fat in double. Try this site, it has really good, healthy recipes that are low in fat and really tasty.. :http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/mostof_silvana.shtml
