Sometimes I've heard people say that paleo food can be bland or boring. First of all, they're wrong. Please don't tell me you ever think that. If you do, your spices are expired or you aren't using them! Either way, you need some more. How about winning them here?
I’m so excited to announce that I’m giving away a Spice Set from CookingPlanIt! It’s an awesome set of spices that includes 26 of the most commonly used spices in the kitchen and is worth over $100!

*** That being said, to ENTER THE GIVEAWAY, leave a comment below answering this question: If you could cook dinner for anyone, who would it be and what would you make? I had to answer this question recently and found it very thought provoking and kind of difficult if you care enough to answer it honestly! Either way works for me! Just make something up. This can be answered in a two-word response. For example : Madonna, pie.
Also, be sure to leave your email address so I know how to find you!

Tough one. I'd make pecan crusted tilapia and roasted root vegetables for my family. (I don't like cooking for strangers.)

Wow...that's a tough question, but my pick would be Food Network's (Chef) Michael Symon (go big or go home, right?) and I'd introduce him to something Paleo-style (perhaps a sweet potato gnocchi ;)
ReplyDeleteI guess I'd get the family together--not just the immediate family but everybody. I might make a big spicy Tex Mex something--maybe fajitas with lots of chicken and beef

If I could cook dinner for anyone, it would have to be the person who has the most influence and power to make a difference in the lives of homeless and orphaned children in the nations of the world.
ReplyDeleteFirst I would prepare a meal similar to those the children recieve [a thin broth with no fressh frout or vegetables, no meat, sparcely sprinkled with rice served in a dirty container] and then place is beside a lavish banquet feast [tropical fruits,nuts, fresh vegetables, grilled fish, blackened chicken, roasted beef...served at a seated formal dinner.] The meal that is considered normal and 'adequate' for the homeless orphaned children would be free...the banquet feast would come at a price...to build and provide both homes and an abundance of food for the homeless and orphaned children. sowingstitches[at]gmail[dot]com
argh...I really should use spell check...sorry for the typos above...Why is it, that typos don't show up until after the publish button is clicked?
DeleteIt's all sappy but I'd make my grandmother fried chicken, she's been gone about 5 years and her cardiologist had her on a pretty restrictive diet for like a decade and I know she missed the good "bad" stuff.
ReplyDeleteChicken soup for a sick friend!
ReplyDeleteI would cook one last meal for my Father. It would be Italian, anything he wanted. I imagine it would be lasagna, or maybe a chicken parmesan, an anti pasta and lots of crusty garlic bread. A cannoli for desert. He would tell me that it was the most delicious thing he's eaten since he was 12. (when his mother died) I would not totally believe him because he thought everything I ever did was genius. I would remember that I am his Cara Mia and he is my Daddy Poppa.

I would cook a potluck dinner for all the members of my CrossFit box, the best group of friends I've had since I was a kid. I would make a couple of whole roasted chickens (wrapped in bacon), some hearty kale, some sweet potatoes, and a paleo desert. We would WOD and then eat and drink together! madavis4@illinois.edu
ReplyDeleteI would cook Braciola for my husband. I feel like since having kids, my husband's favorite foods have taken a back seat to what my kids like.
ReplyDeleteskromann96@hotmail.com
I'd cook up some crickets...put them on a pizza...and serve it up to Barack. Just to see his reaction. And it's delicious of course.

ReplyDeleteI would cook for my 5 grandchildren. They love Thai food, so probably pad thai!
ReplyDeleteI would want to cook for my grandparents. All died either before I was born and still young. All were small town/farm type...so dinner wouldn't be some fancy meal. Just good real food so I could have a great conversation with them and learn more about them.
ReplyDeleteChicken enchalada soup for my grandparents
ReplyDeleteMy grandmas beef stroganoff for my dad who is no longer with us. Why? Because it was one of his favorites. :)

ReplyDeleteI'd really love to make my Nana's rigatoni and gravy for her. She spent so much of her time making it for our family that I'd give anything for the chance to return the favor!
ReplyDeleteIf I could cook dinner for anyone it would be my family. I love cooking for and eating with them more than anyone I can think of.
ReplyDeleteI would love to cook a dinner for my Dad who's been gone for 10 years. I'd like to cook a huge Thanksgiving style dinner, we always went to his house and I would love to show him how much he taught me :)
ReplyDeleteI'd gather up my whole extended family from all around the world together and have a shrimp boil. Ok, that's not much cooking but it's a family tradition and the point is simple, good food and family time. But I'd make a big chocolate cake for dessert...maybe the paleo fudge cake from a few posts back.

DeleteCrawfish etouffe, for my daughter. Dobashe cake for desert.
ReplyDeleteI knew the answer right away. My mother has been passed for 16yrs now and I miss her terrible so I would make dinner for her. She loved Corned Beef and Cabbage so I would make that again for her.
