What do you cook a boyfriend for dinner?

So i'm cooking my boyfriend dinner next week, and I really don't know what to cook! he eats everything!
His parents are eating with us too! and I have never met them before!
anyone have any advice?

 

do something you know you wont screw up

or ask him what he wants

 

I would keep it simple. It sounds like you're going to be extremely nervous. Maybe spaghetti with meatballs and garlic bread? If you want to get fancy, you can make a tiramisu. It won't be as big of a deal if you mess up the dessert.

 

What are you good at cooking or having practice cooking?

In any case, I think a good option is some kind of soup... make a chili con carne.. or make chicken corn soup or some other kind of soup.

 

I'm going to be really nervous
I used to be a chef, so I am pretty good, but never good at knowing what to cook for people.
I did think of a con carnie or spag bol, but scared I'll make a mess of my self whilst eating it.
God I am a teenage girl

 

you could do a bit of everything

 

dont worry about it ,the parents will probably as nervious as you:2thumbsup:

 

Forget what he wants, make an impression on the parents.

If they weren't there, I vote steak, veggies, and some GOOD beer. All in a miniskirt and bra.

 

Home-made chips. Home-made pie (veg, meat or both) Home-made gravy. Vegetables (I don't think these need to be home-made)



Home-made apple pie.

 

^^THIS.^^

That would make me happy (and my parents too)!
:2thumbsup:
:love:

 

Is he a meat eater? I'm assuming so. Perhaps ask his family what they like and go with it. Steak can never hurt. Dudes dig steak. At least some of them.

 

And don't forget to use vermicelli noodles for the spaghetti (and break them in half for good fork spinning).

:sunny:

 

steak can suck if not done right. sphegg meatballs and garlic bread is classy enough and tastes good. can't go wrong with it.

 

Yep, I dig steak (med rare) w/baked potatoes soaked in sour cream and butter, and some chives on top.

Steamed broccoli is cool too.. dang it, I'm starving right now!!

Thankfully, I've got fried chicken and in the fridge.

 

Lol .



And OP, you can always do a sauce from scratch, and if you make pasta, making that fresh is awesome too. Simple, but still delish.

 

IDK.. hand rolling enough noodles for 4 people sounds like it would take an awfully long time..



Hey OP, I made garlic bread out of Thomas' English muffins one time. They tasted awesome! Just an idea I had once that I wanted to share.

 

Nah, it's pretty quick if you're good at it.

That does sound good!

 

8-1/2 ounce rib-eye steak grilled high temp after being frozen, with two 4 ounce lobster tails, shelled and cooked with melted butter and lemon and steam broccoli with finely shredded mozzarella cheese and 5, 4-6 ct. shrimp deveined and cooked on grill with shaved garlic & butter.

 

I was thinking of steak, but they have it once a week, so it's nothing special to them...
I love making pasta, it goes with a lot dishes.
Was thinking of a beef Wellington, everyone goes mad when I cook it,and it's so fun to cook!
