What should my first meal be in my new kitchen?

[Run Amok]

Ok, go!

[seattlegirl]

Macaroni and cheese!

It's the first thing that popped into my head.

Whatever you know how to cook and enjoy eating.  It's your kitchen, so put your own stamp on it with a failsafe and delicious recipe.  I would probably grill a dry-aged ribeye and/or commit other sins against veganism, but that right there is why you don't want to ask other people exactly what you should cook.

All I could see on my phone was "what should my first mea..." and i thought it was first meat  LOL!!!

What are you in the mood for?

Yes. I know. But. So much pressure! I have no idea.  It feels so important!

I would suggest for you to make something you know by heart, but add a twist that would make it special, like adding an unusual ingredient. Kind of like being a Chopped contestant, from the appetizer down to the dessert. then post a pic and the recipe!

I like the idea of it being a recipe I've carried with me through every move, every relationship, every stage of my life.

Contenders in that case are mostly comfort foods my mother made.
A veggie soup with dumplings
Stirfry
Welsh Rarebit  on english muffins (not quite tomato season though)

Other things I've picked up along the way:
My favorite summer salad: romaine, avocado, cuke, green peppers (chopped tiny) + feta & a lime vin
An unusual pea & lettuce risotto
Lentil kokfte
Goi Kohn
Momo

I guess I'll see how the weather is that day. But... I'm leaning towards stirfry. The thing I always crave when I'm away from home. Simple. Light. Full of fresh veggies. mmmm

[merigayle]

Lentil kofta!

[wombleatwimbledon]

Something that you like to make with your kid for me, kitchen = family time so I would pick a joint fav we could make together

[Ice Cream]

so how's the new kitchen?

[Run Amok]

Kitchen is awesome! Even if it mostly gets used for making coffee.
