    I could give you a million ideas but I don't know them so I don't know what they might enjoy, I love cooking.

    ^^Agree search online, ask your fiancee for some help as well, they are his family, he should know the foods they enjoy.

    Actually you just might get a good idea from someone on here... but a little about what kind of things they like would be helpful to know.
    usually when i make dinner, i make hot pockets and serve a side of dorritos! lol but i know your dinner will be much fancier! =)

    When I am cooking for a special occasion, I make homemade chinese food. Chicken Fried Rice, egg rolls, crab rangoon and crab in garlic butter sauce. Mmmm....

    When I'm making a fancy dinner, I go all out and make everything from scratch. Usually I make s'getti since everyone likes that. I make the noddles, the sauce, the bread for garlic bread (actually make the loaf then make the garlic bread) make a large salad and anything else that might be needed. Oh and always a nice dessert to finish it off. Good luck.

    Oh I don't know about you, but my family enjoys pork chops that are cooked and marrionated in a port (can't remember specifically) and cherry sauce. It's scrumptious. :D Well, I make the vegan version but yeah.. again, good luck. :D

    You could make crepes filled with chicken and cream sauce. Or omelets with varied fillings.
    Garlic bread is wonderful as a starter. Slice up a baguette, lather the pieces on either side with a mix of softened butter with chopped garlic and parsley, and use it to glue the baguette back together, then pop it in the oven to heat for about ten minutes or so.
    Pasta is easy, too. You can look up different sauces on the internet.
    I remember once my sister cooked for the family and she made pasta with this creamy sauce and bacon bits.. and it was delicious.
    Stir-fried veggies is another idea... with garlic sauce they taste great.
    If you're a good cook you could make home-made pizza too... look up a recipe for the base on internet, and go crazy with the topping.
    Nachos with guacamole is also an easy appetizer to make.

    It really depends what kind of a mood you're going for.

    Thanks so much for all the ideas, I ended up actually doing a chicken chilli and now they want me to cook again!!! I like the pasta idea since there are so many different tastes in his family they can put what ever sauch on it they like. Thanks again! Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated since I can see I'll be cooking alot more now!!

    Well i am vegetarian and find that people actually really enjoy vegetarian food every now and then. when i have to cook a fancy dinner for people they always love that it is something really different to what they usually have.

    so try something simple yet different.

    Well maybe if you like do a mixture. people always love variety. maybe make a simple vegetarian dish or snack. something that is really nice is if you make baked potatoes, cut them in half, hollow them out and then mash the insides, add what ever you want in them, i usually put sweet corn, peas, lentils etc... and then other people like to put cheese on the top and then you put them in the oven until they go like golden brown. everyone always loved them. so maybe something like that with a salad and then some form of meat

    First of all find out what they like to eat, what they don't like to eat and what they can't eat, that will narrow things down. Next search the net for easy and quick recipies, and always make desert, cuz it's the most part people remmember from dinner or invitations and desert is easy to make.

    Cook something you love to cook (and eat) because then it won't feel like such a chore.
    And there are so many things you could do. Comforting food is the best, you don't necessarily have to go too fancy and speand all day making it.
