WHat to cook tonight?
Discussion
So I am cooking something up for the Mrs.
The only stipulation she has is it is a).not spicy and b).not fishy
I love cooking steak (properly) but I alwaysdo this.
So come on you foodie boffins give me some ideas, oh yeah don't make it too complicated though as I cant be bothered with a million and one ingredients.

This year's lamb should just be reaching the shops so I'd go for grilled double loin lamb chops, boiled new potatoes and some lightly cooked sprouting brocolli, all accompanied by a little gravy from the grillpan. Season to taste with some ground salt,pepper and a touch of chopped mint.
The best meal ever!

Hmmmm good call!! Except lamb has to be cooked with garlic and rosemary, and I prefer asparagus to broccoli, but verry good call on the lamb The best meal ever!
on breakfast 
Get a romantic film out and then make hot dog lollies ( Herta jumbo hotdogs on a wooden skewer ) dip them into the saucy dip of your choice. Takes 3 minutes to prepare.
For more sophistication try a lamb kebab in the grill (lamb, pepper, onion, sweetcorn) with a cashew nut, turmeric and corriander rice side.

I made my girlfriend a chicken breast stuffed with cherry tomatoes, mozzerella and bazil wrapped in parma ham, oven roasted on a bed of linguine covered in a chilli red pepper and tomato sauce.
Went down pretty well.
Well I think we have a winner!!!Went down pretty well.
Do you have a specific ingrediant list and or any basic tips?

Pesto Stuffed Chicken Wrapped in Prosciutto With Pesto Cream Sauce
Served with some nice nutty - Boiled Anya Potatoes.
Hmmm
Directions:
1. In a food processor, combine basil, salt, garlic, pepper and pine nuts. Pulse to until the basil mixture is finely chopped.
2. Turn the food processor on and add the olive oil slowly until the basil mixture is at the desired consistency. Add butter and cheese. Pulse until the cheese and butter are blended into the basil mixture. This makes 1 1/2 cups of pesto. Remaining pesto can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
3. Preheat the oven to 375. Lay and overlap 3 slices of prosciutto on a clean work surface.
4. Place a chicken breast on one end of the prosciutto square. Using a sharp knife create a pocket in the side of the chicken breast. Spoon some of the pesto into the slit.
5. Spoon some dijon mustard on the top of the chicken breast and spread it evenly. Sprinkle black pepper on top of the dijon mustard.
6. Wrap the prosciutto around the chicken breast. Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat for remaining chicken breasts.
7. Bake chicken breasts until they are cooked through and golden brown; about 20 minutes. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
8. Combine the chicken pan juices and 1/4 cup of the pesto in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 1 minute.
9. Add the cream and bring the sauce to boil. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer. Cook until the sauce is reduced by half. Add salt and pepper to taste.
10. To serve the chicken, slice each breast into 1-inch medallions. Transfer to a plate and top with the pesto cream sauce. Sprinkle the top with pine nuts
I've done this a few times, makes a real change from Spicy, or Steak dishes.. It's very easy too.
