My girlfriend is coming over for dinner tonight and I don't have anything prepared for her to eat. Can you give me some last minute meal ideas that I can make quickly and easily. My kitchen is just about empty as well so it needs to be something pretty simple.

My immediate thought is grilled cheese sandwiches, they’re quick and easy to make and you can use just about any ingredients you want, so it’s nice if you’re low on supplies.

Well that's definitely doable. I wonder if she might find that a bit immature though. Is there any way you think I could make that stand out a bit?

I can think of a few different ways.  One idea is you could make grilled cheese with smoked salmon, and serve it on a toasted bagel for an extra sophisticated touch.   I also could give you some ideas for adding variety by putting on a side dish or salad, or perhaps by serving dinner in a different way from the way you typically eat.  Maybe you could sit at the dining room table instead of at the kitchen counter or eat outside on the patio, instead of inside the house?

Ooh I like those ideas. It sounds really tasty. I wish I had a patio to make it more creative. What sort of decorations do you think she'd like?
