    I need a dinner idea. :(

    Ok so I am going to be cooking for my BF, because he's going to be away for Thanksgiving weekend and I want the last night I see him (for 4 days, lol) to be a good one. But one thing. I am not a bad cook, but I am not all that great either. I am going grocery shopping in a few hours and I need an idea for a really simple dish that obviously tastes good, if not awesome, and is almost near impossible to fuck up.

    I have $150 in spending money for groceries, and if there are any wine suggestions to compliment the meal, they would be appreciated. For the love of god, help.

    whats his favorite, and what does he like?

    steaks are always easy, so is any pasta dish, but something that he likes would be best

    Italian chicken is really good. Just need some chicken and Italian dressing. You can add onions pepper and salt if you want then you just bake it. Make some rice on the side with corn or green beans and you got yourself a nice meal.

    Does he like fish? Salmon is easy to cook. Buy a couple of salmon steaks and fill the middle with a combination of feta cheese, ricotta cheese, and chopped spinach. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes and voila.

    If he likes potatoes at all then there's something you can make in 45min that's really good. If you get (think the maker is Lipton, it's a blue box) dry onion soup from the store, and 4 medium size potatoes. Just cut them into 1/4 sizes and use 1/3 cup of oil and mix with the dry onion soup.

    Put in a casserole dish, put in oven at 425 degrees? Mix occasionally and 45 min later it's an awesome side for things like steak or pork chops.

    EDIT: The exact directions are actually on the back of the box with a picture of it. And found a pic of it haha.

    How about you eat him for dinner. I'm sure he'll enjoy that.

    Or put some frosting all over you, and let him eat you.

    I meant all this is the dirty way.

    Deep fry a Turducken. Just make sure you thaw it out first.

    You can do a lot with pork loin chops. Dash some Cavenders all purpose greek seasoning on the chops and rub it in. Fry it. Then melt some butter over the chops, server with rice, and steamed vegetables..

    You can buy the seasoning at Wal-Mart.

    Soup. Can't go wrong with a great soup and it can be a meal all by itself.
