Dinner ideas for a first home cooked meal?

Sausage and tortellini, any red sauce you like; I sauté some mushroom, Sun dried tomato, and spinach and mix that in. You could do any meat; chicken etc but I feel like Italian sausage would go good if he likes meat and potato kinds of meals.

You could ask; “do you like Italian” or something similar to narrow down his tastes but that way you don’t give too much away.

Another easy one would be to buy flatbread; Get some toppings like dairy free cheese, veggies, sausage or whatever else and kind of do a make your own flat bread activity.

Do you have anything that you know how to cook and are comfortable cooking already? I would be worried trying a new recipe the first time because I have definitely messed up recipes the first time doing them.

Check out Ina Garten’s lemon capellini recipe on YouTube! I make it for myself all the time but I add sautéed mushrooms and spinach. I’ll throw high quality salmon or fresh sausage in the oven and serve it together :)

Update: I asked him and he said tacos? Like a store kit lol. All I’d have to do is fry up beef? I suggested steaks or ribs on the BBQ and he still said tacos on the BBQ would be good? I feel like this isn’t showing my nurturing characteristics but hey, if that’s what the man wants I guess.

Fried chicken, corn on the cob, and mashed potatoes or cornbread.

Or ribeye steak with homemade chimichurri sauce and mashed/baked/scalloped potatoes.

southern baked chicken

I recommend this with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. This recipe take some time but it’s extremely simple and you can’t mess it up but it looks impressive. If you are looking to impress, I would do more than a boxed taco kit. He could take leftovers the next day also.

Edit: or, if he really wants tacos, you could do crock pot pulled pork (taco spices, onion, tomatoes, jalapeño and fresh orange juice) and make some homemade Guac with chips. Easy!

Pack a good lunch that looks like a woman packed it with fancy cut veggies, napkins and dessert.

Depends how serious I was about him. If it was just new then I would make stew. If it was serious, I would absolutely do a chicken dish.

Girl what? You’re cooking for a man on date two? No. Order take out!! Or buy something you just heat up like noodles and sauce. You can be traditional without giving away wifey benefits before you’re even in relationship.

A fancy-cut Oven Potato with a rich Salad and a nice herb-Joghurt sauce…

Title: Dinner ideas for a first home cooked meal?

Full text: Background:

Me: 29F, him 26M, casually hanging out as “friends” in group settings and a few times alone. No romance yet but he’s indicated interest. He is coming over tomorrow for the second time.

My strong suits are pasta dishes and casseroles/one pot meals but he seems like more of a meat and potatoes type of guy. Anything I cook has to be dairy free. I have a small crock pot, BBQ and a pressure cooker.

I live in a food desert in rural Canada (one small grocery store) so nothing with any “exotic” ingredients.

What can I cook him to wow him without knowing his food tastes?

He will also be staying in my guest room overnight so I’d like to pack him a lunch for work, he usually gets take out.

I personally would not be trying a new recipe first go in this instance. If he enjoys meat, then do an Italian dish like lasagne or bolagnase with mince. A meaty casserole also sounds fine if you’re comfy with that. He will appreciate the effort and you will be less stressed as it’s a dish you’re confident with. You can say brightly “next time we can do steak etc”. Good luck! x
