If you are still thinking about Cajun food you can check out easy recipes at www.kraftfoods.com and if you want to go further you can find recipes too at www.foodtv.com. Good Luck!! Also, everyone likes bbq (i.e. Sirloin steaks, Ribs, Chicken). With meat, you can serve it with mashed potatoes and steamed or sauteed green veggies and with Chicken you can serve with steamed asparagus and fried russet or red potatoes. All meat, serve it with a nice green salad, garlic bread and for beverage you can buy either red or white wine .. depends on what you are planning on cooking. That's great that you are going to cook for your boyfriend on his birthday. You must be a really great girlfriend and he'll love you for your creative mind. Good Luck!!

Answer 6

chicken salad. grill the chicken or put it on the stove. pick up the kit bags of salad, and once you cook the chicken then throw the two together. you can put a sauce over it all, but i prefer it dry. you could also mkae some cream corn. Throw some bisquick bread in the oven. cant remember what the bread is called, but french bread is good too.

Answer 7

Italian

Answer 8

You can get the boxes of Zatarans from the grocery store. Lots of gumbo and other rice dishes. Also get some Jerk sause and marinade some chicken in it and put it on a BBQ or even the George Forman giller. So... Zatarans and Jerk sause. Good luck!
