What should I make for a birthday dinner?

Question

It is my husbands birthday on Monday but he works afternoon shift so I am making him a nice birthday dinner tommorow night. I have no idea what to make though!!! The dinner needs to be kid friendly (nothing too crazy!), and my husband is not picky when it comes to food. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I'm sure it's dessert he'd most look forward too.

Answer 2

You can cook his all-time favorite dish, or you can try something new. You might want to try some of the recipies off Betty Crocker.com for more family oriented ideas. But if you're not a fan of Betty Crocker, I also listed a few other sites that may help you in finding a perfect meal your whole family can enjoy.

Best of luck!

Answer 4

Well ask him, and if he tells you to surprise him then you should try and remember what foods he likes best and make sure they are kid friendly then pick from that list to make a sort of meshed birthday dinner (note i did not say mixed i said meshed, so don't throw everything in a blender and hit puree... O_O)

Answer 5

Fix whatever your husband 'likes best' for dinner ... ask him if you don't have a clue ... and if it's not 'kid friendly' then the kids should have some good exposure to 'adult foods' and this would be a good time for you to start the exposure.

1/4 cup finely sliced green onions
4 cups broccoli florets, steamed

Mix together egg, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch in a bowl.

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger,hoisin sauce, sugar, rice wine vinegar, and sherry for the sauce; reserve.

Deep-fry chicken pieces for 1 1/2-2 minutes, until browned and crisp.
turn off heat, and remove chicken with a wire strainer and drain over a bowl.
Pour off all but 1 1/2 tbsp. of the oil from the wok.
Heat the wok over high heat for 20-30 seconds; add the chilies and stir-fry for 15-20 seconds, then add the green onions, cooking for 30 seconds more.
Add the chicken and cook, stirring, for 1 minute; remove all from wok and set aside.

Perfect Basic White Rice
4 servings 20 min

1 cup long grain rice
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon butter (optional)

In a saucepan with a good fitting lid bring water, salt and butter if desired to a boil.
Add rice and stir.
Cover and reduce heat to medium low. You will know that your temperature is correct if a little steam is visible leaking from the lid. Alot of steam means your heat is too high.
Cook for 20 minutes.
DO NOT LIFT LID!
The steam that is trapped inside the pan is what allows the rice to cook properly.
Remove from heat and fluff with fork.
Serve!
