But first, a few pointers:

• Men love meat. If he doesn't eat meat, girls, he's probably a sissy. Beware. (But just because he does eat meat doesn't guarantee he's not. Free relationship advice.)
• Avoid non-starchy vegetables at all costs. Of course, all men love peas and corn and potatoes, but steer clear of Brussels sprouts and zucchini if you want to keep your man happy. (Jules P. adds, "Men also like garlic. Garlic and onions." Thanks for the reminder, Jules. I once dated a man who hated onions, and it annoyed me greatly.)
• Even the most continental man loves creepy suburban food. Keep Velveeta and ground beef on hand. If your man's a snob, give your June Cleaver casseroles fancy names or lie about the recipe sources. He'll gobble them up.
• Despite their packaging charm, canned meat products are to be avoided. Spam is for laughing at, not for eating.
• Anything good is better with bacon. (Thanks, Christopher!)
• Butter, butter, butter!
• Dinner rolls galore. Garlic bread with that fake garlic spread (Lawry's) will really win his heart.
• Generous servings are a must. If his plate doesn't look like the fattest man's in the line at Luby's, you've screwed up. This trick allows you to eat healthy portions without looking like a glutton. If you want him to reduce, just use smaller plates when you pile up the chow. Men aren't very bright.
• Don't forget dessert! And don't underestimate the power of seemingly frou-frou desserts. Why, I know one big, hulking man that likes nothing better than to end a meal with a fluffy, mile-high slice of coconut cream pie!

May We Suggest. . .

Even if the idea of a loaf of meat gives you the willies, try this baby on for size! Heavenly Meatloaf, full of beefy and porky goodness and blanketed in bacon and a brown sugar glaze. MMmmmm...bacon...

Steak & potatoes will never embarrass you, but maybe you're looking for something with a bit more flair. Perhaps your man has a sweet tooth? I recommend one of my own fella's favorite dishes: Hawaiian Meatballs.

You say your boy is more blue collar than Blue Hawaiian? Then try this Monster Truck and Tractor Pull specialty: Frito Pie!

Looking for more coquettish fare? Try Chicken à la King and Popovers, suitable in the bachelor pad and chafing dish alike!

And to make any occasion special, try the best pink cake in the world, Cherry Dream Cake.
