Food!

My husband is on the late end of middle stage and I have had such a hard time caring for him with food. All he wants are milkshakes, ice cream bars, cookies, pastries. I have always enjoyed cooking and had an enthusiastic family but he complains about every meal I make. I am starting to resent this, take it too personally, and now am not enjoying eating. I read somewhere to add sugar to foods, which sounds both revolting and also contrary to what I read about sugar exacerbating memory loss. Any suggestions, please?
