Sharing the kitchen with your significant other makes for the perfect at-home date night. Whether you and your boo are amateur cooks or seasoned foodies, partnering up to cook a delicious meal is an opportunity for a little extra creativity, teamwork, and connection. Here, four couples share more about their favorite date night dish.
Black Bean Burgers with Avocado and Pico de Gallo
Cheryl Craver & Faith James
This recipe is one of our go-to’s no matter the season. It’s perfect to share with friends, meal prep for a busy week, or exercise culinary creativity with different toppings. For a date night at home, we love cooking and building these together while listening to our favorite vinyl of the week.

O’Neil Classic Lasagna
Calvin & Denise O’Neil
Calvin and I started making this recipe during COVID as a means of a quick in-home date night, which eventually turned into a staple recipe in our home. It’s fun and interactive to make, and the lasagna turns out extra cheesy and full of flavor. If you’re hoping to cook a meal with your boo, stick with something simple and classic like the O’Neil Classic Lasagna. You’ll find yourself making it again and again!

Grilled Flank Steak Tacos with Arugula Mint Pesto and Charred Pineapple
Jeff & Heather Pennypacker
Whether it’s cooking or relationships, it’s important to pay attention to the details. For example, we have lots of allergies at our house, including wheat, eggs, garlic, and onions, so our meals require a little extra attention to detail and creativity. This date night recipe reflects the simplicity with which we cook along with our love for delicious details.

The Pierre Pot
Marc & Besa Pierre
‘Wednesdates’ in the Pierre household have become a weekly date night for my husband and me. Every week we carve out time to cook an intimate meal together filled with love in every bite. With our culturally diverse family, our meals blend a mix of Haitian, Jamaican, and Albanian cuisine. Cooking is our love language!
