Dinner recipe?

Question

My fiance' will be coming home from his deployment and I'd like to cook a nice dinner for him. Does anyone know of a great, easy recipe? Something you have personally tried and really enjoyed. I'm not really looking for a link just an answer based on personal experience. I live in a small town so if it calls for anything that I can't find at a Wal-Mart grocery store it could be difficult. He is a Marine and will eat anything! =) Thanks.

Answer 1

This one is delicious - and easy!

Grilled Raspberry Chicken

• 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup frozen raspberries, thawed
• 1 cup raspberry vinaigrette
• 1/4 cup raspberry vodka (optional) - I used
• 1/4 cup finely chopped mint leaves (optional) - I didn't use
• Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish (optional) - I didn't use
• Fresh raspberries, for garnish (optional) - I used

Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels. Place chicken in a large zip-top bag. Add raspberries, vinaigrette, vodka (if using) and chopped mint. Squeeze air out and seal bag. Gently massage the bag to mash raspberries. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from grill and place on serving platter. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and fresh raspberries if so desired.

Answer 3

Beef olives!

You need to buy some minced beef and thinly cut steak. Roll the minced beef into a sausage shape and wrap the steak around it. Wrap in foil and put in the oven medium heat for 45 minutes.

The all you need to do is make a gravy and add loads of onions.

Serve with mash potato or chunky fries.

Answer 4

feed your Marine a nice TBone steak or a Rib eye steak. Broil it 10 minutes per side. Salad goes really nice with this.

KISS = keep it simple, sally

He has probably really missed things like this while he was over there. And you don't want to go to a lot of trouble. But have it nice!

Answer 6

After military food anything will taste great.
Most men prefer red meat, perhaps a good steak.
Baked potatoes are great, loaded with cheese, onion, bacon, etc.
Corn is in season, or a nice salad of mixed greens.

I keep recommending this dish because it is beautiful, delicious, and it really charms the opposite sex.
