If you have been in a rut when it comes to first date ideas, maybe you should try something you’ve never done before. Some people are a little nervous when it comes to cooking for someone else, but even if you haven’t done much cooking, there are some delicious meals you can prepare that will impress your date. The best part about cooking for someone else is that it gives you an opportunity to serve the person you are with, and that alone will start things off on a good note. The following are some easy but delicious things you can cook on a date with someone new.

Grilled Meats
Before cooking for anyone, it’s always a good idea to find out if your date is a vegetarian. If not, grilling anything can be an easy thing to do. Go to the store and pick up some chicken, burgers, or fish, and add the appropriate seasoning for the centerpiece of your meal. Simply add a salad, rice, or potatoes, and your meal will be filling and perfect.
Buffet-Style Salad
If you want to be healthy, you can always create a salad bar in your home. Buy a few heads of lettuce and chop them up nicely, and then buy a wide-selection of vegetables. You can make homemade salad dressing with dressing mixes you can buy at the store. You can also grill up some chicken slices and boil some eggs in order to add protein to the mix of salad bar options. Most people will enjoy a hearty salad, and you could bake some brownies for desert.
