*anj* Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I just mentioned this to Karen in the church potluck thread. I said that my dh's Food of Love is a big old pot of red gravy with meatballs and sausage served over fusilli (the long kind.) If it has brasciole, all the better, but he could easily eat meatballs and sauce maybe 4 nights a week. When he comes home and smells that cooking he gets all smiley and happy and feels like I love him. :p How about your husbands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. H. Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Fried venison steaks with mashed potatoes and gravy, collard greens, cornbread, and a large salad. Dessert? Carrot cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hm... Rack of lamb with mint sauce and fresh English peas with mint? Or maybe vichyssoise... Oh, and really good crab -- not something I can make at home. And fried chicken. :) Luckily, he doesn't expect his real favorites very often... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Cookies! And any kind of potatoes. We call him the cookie monster. He really loves cookies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Just about anything home cooked and elegant. He is very partial to caesar salad, or just about any green salad on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa in Jax Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 If we're talking about a holiday/special occasion meal, his choice would be medium rare filet mignon, asparagus and potatoes. If we're talking an everyday dinner, it's chicken and green beans. For snacks, when I buy "Easy Cheese" and Wheat Thins for him, he beams. ;-) Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey in TX Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 homemade lasagne (requires particular ingredients) MR steak, fresh off grill and his favorite...lemon garlic-basil roasted chicken. My family devours this. He's been out of country, and returns tonight w/ our former exchange student who also loves it...so we'll eat dinner at 10pm with the "fixin's" give me a bloody rare steak or grilled lamb chop and I'm happy for days :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMindy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 especially Chile Rellenos, which are a pain to make! :-) He is so happy when he comes in and smells sauted onions and jalepenos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay in Cal Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hmmm... his childhood favorites he mostly cooks for himself when he wants them (meatballs in mushroom gravy, marinated flank steak and noodles-n-eggs). The only real "food of love" that I am solely in charge of is making Cheeseball on special occasions. His mom gave me the recipe when we first got married, but now he likes mine better than hers!

*anj* Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 noodles-n-eggs Wait. Stop! Yet another person??? I had never heard of that when I was growing up. I rented an apartment in college with a bunch of friends and two of them (totally unrelated, didn't grow up in the same area, etc.) had fond memories of eating that. They would cook noodles on purpose, chill them, and then make noodles and eggs. At first I thought it was gross, but I learned to like it. Especially with ketchup. Is this a popular thing, and I'm the weirdo who never heard of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvbnhome Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 He likes for me to make this at home, but loves it when it's from one of his favorite restaurants, as they have a smoker!! :) mmmm:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria from IN Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Breaded pork chops. Definitely. Also, tuna casserole...or as we like to call it, "macaroni and cheese with tuna and peas (and carrots and onions)" we kinda like to rhyme around here. He also loves no-bake cookies--I can't believe no one has mentioned that yet, given how much we talk about them! But the pork chops he'll do anything for--including assemble a treadmill, replace a faucet, and put new brake shoes on my car...and he's not even my husband yet! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay in Cal Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I think Noodles and Eggs is weird... I didn't even know other families ate it! I know in his case it dates back to his grandmother (of German descent, I believe). She would use leftover pasta, cook it with scrambled eggs in bacon grease. My dh makes this artery-clogging treat rarely--and garnishes it with strips of bacon. His dad would make it for family breakfast on weekends, and now it's his speciality. Of course, he'll make a ovo-only version without the bacon, and uses vegetarian bacon in my serving. He claims it tastes OK, but not nearly as good.

I don't think there's a thing in my limited repetoire that makes him all hot and heavy. Not that I'm a terrible cook, I"m just not a very inspired one and I've never found a signature dish.
