You can't go wrong with steak and oven roasted potatoes with a gorgeous mushroom sauce! 

Chop the potatoes into cubes, toss with salt, pep, garlic and olive oil. Throw in the oven at 375 for 25-30 mins. 

Get a nice sirloin, throw some butter and thyme into pan, sear on high heat for 2 min per side till cooked how you like.

Add to buttery pan thyme, throw some chopped shrooms and onions in that sauce, red wine, a dash of cream if you'd like, and simmer for like 10 mins. Pour over finished plate.

Taco bar! Something the two of you can prepare together, and so easy!

Can't go wrong with Italian! Simmer some sauce, boil some pasta, even some chicken parm if you wanted. There's definitely something for everyone. And, I feel like Italian foods are just romantic in themselves for some reason lol

What are his favorite foods? I would suggest a side dish that could can prep ahead of time and then just heat up in the oven that night — the last thing you want to do is be stressed in the kitchen during your date!

Shepherds pie. Ground beef, mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes, cheese. Who DOESNT love it 

Ok, you need to make roast chicken over cabbage. It is DELICIOUS and it is SO EASY. Now, I know everyone says "so easy" but literally, a total novice can do this!!! Trust me!!! I was once a total novice who made this and it was THE dish that gave me confidence in the kitchen. It's one whole chicken, one whole cabbage, butter, salt, and pepper. The end! Ugh it's so good and really cozy. Enjoy!!

Pasta is always a safe bet. It's easy to make and you won't be hungry after!!

Cacio pepe. Three ingredients, easy clean up, No weird lingering smells 

Quesadillas? Pretty hard to screw up, everyone loves them, and bland enough to be calm on the stomach. 

Or just get some penne and a nice vodka sauce, and you’ve got a pretty quick meal that has some nice side accompaniments. A great, easy salad is arugula, shaved parm, and a squeeze of lemon. 

I'm not a chef, but I can follow a recipe. Nothing too complicated... or too ~weird~ that may not be for everyone. I just need a simple go-to date night meal. Any recommendations? 

What should I make for a dinner date in?
