Dinner recipes for two?
My boyfriend is coming over tonight for dinner and he asked me to cook. This will be the first meal I cook for him as his girlfriend and I am really nervous. I went through all of the things I consider myself good at and they just seem run of the mill. Any ideas for a kick but recipe that only takes about an hour?

(I have also used this way of cooking for a prime rib steak.
Mushrooms browned in butter with a pinch of garlic powder (not garlic salt), poured over the steak is delicious.
Cracked pepper has a better flavor than regular pepper.)

7. CATALINA CHICKEN:
From DontH8Me
http://www.city-data.com/forum/recipes/208866-any-...
"Catalina Chicken from the thighs and legs - separate them and skin them before baking to keep the fat down, if you prefer. The recipe I use is typically for a whole chicken, so I would substitute 4 - 5 legs and thighs in this case.
Take the cleaned pieces and put them in a rectangular glass baking dish. Mix one small or 1/2 large bottle of Catalina Island French salad dressing with one envelope of Lipton's French Onion Soup Mix. At this stage, depending on your preference, you could add to the pan of chicken any of the following: Onions, 1 inch dice, red/green/yellow bell pepper, 1 inch dice, and/or pineapple tidbits. Pour the sauce mix over the whole thing and swirl it around to coat all the pieces. Cover with foil to keep moist.
Bake in a 375 degree oven until the chicken juices run clear. You will want to make a batch of fluffy rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce from the chicken bake. My family loves this recipe and it takes less than 5 minutes to prep."

Other favorites:
Frozen dinners from supermarket. Buy only the top brands such as the dinners in the red boxes that say "No preservative". Make sides dishes of frozen vegetables that come in bags.
Canned stew.
Canned soups.
Stir fry vegetables. I like yellow/green/red bell peppers, mushrooms, sliced red onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper (I like cracked pepper found in glass jars with the special top for craacking the peppers), and you can add anything else you like. Makes a great lunch.
Sealed precooked meats such as pot roasts, baked ham, chicken, meatloaf, roasts with gravy, the list goes on and on. Ask a clerk to help you find these packages in the cold sections (not the freezer). My husband found a new one last week and it was delicious:

i would make some bruschetta. get a baguette and slice it and toast it. chop some tomatoes and onions and put on them. you can also top them with mozarella. you can make garlic bread also topped with salami and mozarella. this will be as a starter. other options may be some kind of soup or shrimp coktail.
then as a main meal i would do some pasta.
you can never go wrong with it.
i would make some oil in a pan on on low heat. add some garlic in, bacon and fry roughly till they turn golden brown. p.s. careful garlic tends to burn easily. then add alot of mushrooms and stir. add some parsley and finish off with some fresh cream. you can also add a splash of white wine. then boil some pasta. preferrable tortellini or tagliatelle
hope i helped

Good for you - don't be nervous. I have a perfect recipe - seared pork tenderloin. Add a baked potato and a salad, he will adore you for that.
Garlic - Pepper Seared Pork Tenderloin
1 (2 pound) pork tenderloin
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp black & red pepper seasoning
1 tbs Olive Oil
Trim fat and silver skin from tenderloin.
Mix seasonings, rub mixture all over meat.
Cover with plastic wrap, set out for 30 minutes.
After 20 minutes, turn oven to 425 degrees.
Place oven safe skillet on stove, large enough to
hold meat, turn to medium-high heat, add olive oil.
When oil begins to ripple, place tenderloin
in skillet with tongs, don't move it. Let sear
for 2 minutes, turn over & sear 2 minutes.
Repeat process until all sides are seared.
Put skillet in oven & cook approximately
35-40 minutes, or 20 minutes per pound.
Check meat thermometer, internal temperature
at 155 degrees.
Remove from oven, place on cutting board,
cover with foil. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Temperature will rise to 160 degrees,
medium (slight pink center).
If steak or burgers would be more to his fancy, you can find grilled cheddar burgers with green chile's and grilled onions, or steak and chops recipes from my website at:

Breakfast for dinner is always a fav around my house.
ZIPLOC OMELET
(This works great! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelet).
Have each person write their name on a Quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker.
Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.
Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, salsa, etc.
Each person adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.
Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.
Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.
Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.
