Anyone know good recipes for one?

Question

i love to cook but my family likes it if i try it first before i cook it for them. so if you know any recipes it would be great. they can be simple or they can be extremely difficult, it doesn't matter.

Answer 1

do like i do. tell them if you dont like it, dont eat it and go hungry. never had anyone leave the table yet! unless someone gives input as to the menu, they had better be willing to eat what i put on the table!

Answer 2

It seems ridiculous to have to cook for one before you feed them.  If you already have a family then you must have been cooking for them for years.  Try something new, if they don't like it, just don't make it again.  If you have to do all the cooking, then you call the shots.
