Answers:
Salmon, wild rice & asparagus!. for dessert, ice cream & apple pieWww@FoodAQ@Com
most important is to consider her favorite food!. then what you the most comfortable cooking!. Nothing messy(spagetti) nothing too big or filling(steak)!. No garlic or onions!.( the breath thing)!. Find out what she likes!. A nice salad may be enough if you add some chicken or fish to it!. Maybe before you could steam an artichoke or have some veggies, cheese, crackers, grapes, and nuts!. It is light, fun, and she can pick at what she likes and avoid what she doesn't!. Make some crustini's!. French bread sliced with tomatoes, mozzerella, and basil!.!.!.!.or tomato sauce!. what ever you like on top and do it cold or melted in the oven!. wrap turkey and cream cheese around steamed asparagus with a pinch of pepper!. If you have a variety of snacks then you can call it Tapas and its fancy, easy, impressive!. also try zucchini sticks with cocktail sauce instead of shrimp!. Its lighter, different and no fishy taste!. cocktail sauce is ketchup,lemon juice,worchestire sauce, and horseradish!. Desert should be light too!. fresh berries with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and whip cream!. strawberry shortcake!. mini rootbeer floats are always fun!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I always like baking lasagna for my boyfriend which is simply going to the grocery store and picking out lasagna noodles and buying whatever the ingredients are on the package!. That with garlic bread it to die for!. To keep it simpler than that, you could always try something like roasted chicken breasts in a pan with some sauteed vegetables on top like chopped carrots, zuccini, tomato, and spinich!? Then have a side of boiled rice!.
Dessert you could try baking cupcakes from a cakemix box or something more challenging like cheesecake which is easy to make but involves more!.
Good luck, I'm sure she'll love anying you make her :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
