What should I make for dinner?

Question

I'm making my boyfriend some dinner tonight before he takes me ice skating and I have NO idea what to make!

Answer 1

Chicken cutlets marinated in italian dressing and cooking wine. soak them in the marinade for about 5 minutes, then bread them in 4c bread crumbs and bake about 30 minutes.

Rice-a-roni is a great side dish to make with this

Answer 2

Oh how I wish I could go ice skating.....sounds like fun. If I were going to make something I'd make this Italian dish. It's pasta the type is ZITI...they are barrel shaped and suck up all the sauce. I made some yesterday and it was great. Here is all you need and it takes a short time to make it. It will give you energy to skate.
Here are the ingredients:
1 lb. bag of Zitis
1& 1/2 lb or more of ground beef
1 bag of frozen sliced peppers tri colored red, green, yellow with onions added or if you have the fresh use them.
olive oil for the bottom of the pan
salt, pepper, oregano, basil, garlic
1 small can of drained mushrooms or fresh sliced
can of stewed tomatoes
can of tomato puree
can of tomato paste
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 bunch of fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
In the deep cooking pot that holds about 6 quarts...
place olive oil and cook the meat when it's done add the peppers and cook about 5 minutes..add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for about 45 minutes
In another large pot boil water and salt it. Add the Zitis..and cook about 9 minutes read the pkg. directions..then as soon as they are done put in colander to drain do not rinse...mix with pasta zitis and place in long oblong baking pan and sprinkle over parmesan cheese ..place in 350 degree oven for about 25 or 30 minutes...check so the top does not burn...
Serve with a green salad and garlic bread...drink of your choice and save the dessert after you are finished skating....lol
