  • Steak!

  • Everything DH cooks is the best.  He cooks probably 90% of the time in our house :)

  • I cook most things for us but DH always does breakfast (pancakes or waffles and bacon) and he is also the grillmaster in the family (especially filet mignon... mmm).
  • Spaghetti or sloppy joes. I wish that one of us really liked to cook. :(

    Edit: You girls do remind me that he is the grill master in our house. Especially steaks and burgers!

  • DH makes a munster cheese filled burger and it is to.die.for!  He can not use my kitchen, but he is the master of the grill :)

  • I do about 99% of the cooking, but DH is the master of the grill.  He made some excellent burgers last week.  If you're talking about in-door cooking, he makes some really good made-from-scratch hash browns for breakfast.  He's also working on mastering a hollendaise (sp?) sauce for eggs benedict, but I haven't been able to try it yet because of the little pumpkin.

  • DH makes a good omelet and breakfast potatoes. Dinner wise, he makes this breaded/semi-fried italian chicken dish, which is really good. However, it makes the house smell oily and it is not very healthy, so he hasn't made it in a looooong time. I expect when I am ready to pop at 39 weeks I will let him make it a few times. I won't be complaining about not cooking!

  • He works wonders with our grill - I love that it's almost summer time and we can do this several times a week now!

    Also, he makes really good chicken alfredo. Which I am now craving, despite that it's 10 a.m.

  • I do most of the cooking, but DH is awesome on the grill.  He also makes some great breakfast hash!

  • Anything - he's an amazing cook when he wants to.  He prefers to just throw things together and make something too.  When we go camping he always cooks and it's one of the things I look forward to most.

  • DH only grills.  It was torture for him when I had my hand surgery, and he had to cook.  I made sure to prepare everything ahead of time and put it in the freezer.  All he had to do was defrost it and pop it in the oven, but he still hated "cooking".

  • DH only grills but he grills an awesome steak!
  • meat on the grille, especially steak. I always over cook things on the grille.

    I honestly don't remember if DH has ever cooked for me.  I think he might have made some hamburgers once.  I think I remember them being edible so I guess I'll go with hamburgers.

  • Good question? He will make a lot of bland healthy stuff but I can't even grade it. It is that bland.

    Sad

    ETA: I forgot that on our old grill (that had less flare ups - waiting for a flare up blocker thingy to be delivered) he made the best medium steaks but even then I did the marinade or rub.

  • Breakfast is his meal and it's extra good because I get to lay around on the couch while he's up cooking!

  • He makes some good spaghetti. And his salmon is delicious as well!
  • Everything he makes is good...just too bad he's not home during the week to cook, he never minded doing the cooking..

    he loves to grill, so i leave that up to him....though i may have to start, i might want to grill during the week while he's gone....i don't want to wait for the weekend  :=)

  • Waffles and scrambled eggs.  His eggs always taste better than mine for some reason.  Yesterday he made the comment about not being able to wait to grill in the new house.  He'd probably be good at that too :)

  • STEAK!!!! Yummy!
  • I'm just grateful when DH cooks anything. He really doesn't cook. He grills a lot in the summer but it's not the same.

  • DH is an awesome cook and has worked in restaurants for 20+years so that's a toughy. I think I was most impressed, though, by the strawberry champagne risotto with chocolate shavings... mmmmm...

  • DH makes some of the best Mexican food--enchiladas, rice and pasole (a kind of soup) are my faves.  Mmmmmm!
