YAGT: I want to do something really nice here...

[JoLLyRoGer]

Actually it's a cooking thread. First of all I'd starve without the microwave, but I've been dating this woman for about a month now and I want to cook a really nice meal for her that would make Emril proud.

I'm pretty good at cooking when I want to, but I don't know any impressive recipies off the top of my head.

Any ideas on something easy but makes a really good sit down dinner?

Any preferred main entree? What does she like? What does she not like?

 

[T3C]

ya what she likes is a good place to start

Food TV has some great recipes. Do a search for "roast chicken." That makes a nice sit down meal.

Well, she fixed these chicken chimichanga's for me the other night that were out of this world. She's not a real big fan of fish, but she does like to eat healthy so she can keep up her girlish figure (she's big into fitness). Something that's not very fattening or loaded with cholosterol(sp?) is what I'm after here. It's too bad she doesn't do the fish thing very well, because I can do a mean blackened salmon atop a wilted salad recipie.

Pizza, beer and Krispy Kreme donuts for desert?


or roast
scalloped potatoes
rice pilaf
flan

I would opt for the first one, but the second one is easy to prepare.

Yeah, maybe a pork roast and some twice baked potatoes, then a nice salad, but what about a second veggie?

BTW Nitmare, thanks for the info about golf clubs yesterday!
