I'm on a diet and food is on the brain! What was the first

I'm on a diet and food is on the brain! What was the first

meal you cooked for FH? If you don't cook, what was the first meal he cooked for you?

FH had like NONE of the basic kitchen neccesities when we started dating so the first time I cooked for him, it was a crazy fest. I planned my special turkey meatballs with fresh mozzarella in the center and homemade sauce and when we bought the ingredients it came up to over 70 bucks. lol FH was like 'damn, we could've just gone to a 5 star restaurant' Mind you, he didn't have any spices or nothing.

Anyway, back at his apartment, I realized he had like one frying pan, a tiny sauce pot, and like 2 forks and spoons lol. He didn't even have a colander to drain the pasta. I love to cook but it was so stressful because I wanted to impress him and here I was draining pasta with a fork!

Anyway, took me over an hour and half but when FH tasted it, he was like beaming and said 'i've had other people cook for me but nothing like this!'

The first thing I did when I moved in was hook up his kitchen!

First meal I made him was chicken marsala.....FH (at the time) was into healthy eating, and this I made with plenty of veggies and was light. He liked it, and with the exception of a few comments (like I now know he doesn't like peas), he has loved all of my cooking. I am very lucky.

The first thing I made was lasagna. I'm usually a very good cooker of all things Italian, but I was so nervous at the time that I overcooked it. The noodles on the bottom were a little crunchy, and to this day he calls my lasagna 'Crunchy Nuggets of Death'. But he ate it all that day anyway to make me feel better

FH hates peas too and also hates it when I put 'green things' lol garnish on top of things. I still do it though. I cook, he has to eat it!

The first thing I made FH was chicken cutlets, with rice and beans. Thats like his fav meal! lol

And FH cannot cook if his life depended on it. He can put cereal in a bowl and milk, but thats it! lol

that was a while ago but I think the first thing I ever cooked for FH was probably Chicken Cutlets, Mashed Potatoes, and some other kind of side dish. First thing he ever cooked for me was Shepard's Pie - mmmmmmmmmmm

FH made me awesome drunken pork chops...I ate them all. The funny thing is I haaaaaate pork chops (they're kinda dry usually) and he had already bought them and I felt bad so I kept my mouth shut...after when I had cleaned my plate I told him I hated them but that his were delicious!!!

I don't remember what the first meal I cooked for FH was...but I had to teach him how to eat my food. FMIL cooks kind of bland so FH was used to dumping salt onto his food once it hit the table. I cook full-flavored meals that don't need anything extra, so I had to train FH to STOP PUTTING SALT ON MY FOOD!!!!

The very first thing I ever made him was a PB&J sandwich I was 17.

When I went to college, and he came to visit me the first time, I made him steak with candied sweet potatoes


The first thing he ever made me (besides a hot dog on the bbq) was penne ala vodka.

the first thing I made him was eggplant rollatini with spaghetti & homemade sauce - very ambitious, but my college roommate helped me all afternoon slicing and breading/frying eggplant

the first thing he made me was chicken francese. He just moved to an apt in CT and surprised me with dinner when I arrived. It was really cute

The first meal I made for him was his favorite food on his birthday--PIZZA! LOL.

I bought already made dough at a pizza shop, bought fresh mozz, basil, chicken sausage, mushrooms and marinara sauce, and baked him a pie. I paired it with an arugula sald with prosciutto.

I'm a terrible cook, but he was happy.

He's a great cook, and has since perfected his own hand made pizza with wheat dough too!
