Answer 2

When I was a kid, I thought it was pretty fancy to make scrambled eggs and then sprinkle paprika on the top!

I don't know your level of cooking skills, but a nice pot roast with carrots, onions and green peppers and potatoes (either in with the roast or mashed separately) can be considered fancy and I know it's delicious. Serve with tossed salad or Waldorf salad if you've got the skills and the apples.

If you meant a dessert, check out the various Impossible Pies using Bisquik on the Betty Crocker website.

Answer 3

simplest way? take the ingredients you already have, make something you already know how to make and make the fancy bits the garnishes and the serving. Put out a tablecloth, real napkins, crystal, silver flatware, flowery centerpiece. Garnish with cherry tomatoes and olives skewered on toothpicks, orange twists, fresh parsley. Make it look special and it will feel special. Not to mention the fact that (I'm assuming this is for your parent(s), they'll love the effort you've put into it all.
