How about a couple cornish hens and my recipe I posted in another thread for Crock Pot dressing. It is so good. Then you could have some strawberries and chocolate or make an eclair cake.

I was a clutz in the kitchen but one of the first dishes I made for my husband was butter garlic shrimp and pasta. It's really easy, you just chop up some garlic, green scallions and a few tiny bits of onion and toss them with a bar of butter in a skillet. Once the butter is melted just toss your shrimp in and cook for a few minutes. I served mine over fettucine but you can use whatever pasta you like. It was really good and made him "extra happy" in a way shellfish does to some people. You can serve this with wine to make it extra special.

OOOhhhh I love shrimp and pasta...okay ice queen, scratch my idea and go with necee419. That sounds wonderful. Make a light mousse to go with it and wha lah!!

the shrimp and pasta sounds lovely and i will try that soon! i loves da shrimps!!! and i will try the crockpot dressing too. i made coq au vin from scratch last time and even amazed myself! my fil ate some and is still talking about it and this is from a man who his main sentence is "It's allright" my kids even ate it my oldest dtr even loved the mushrooms and my youngest dtr loved the chicken and sauce-this child doesn't eat anything but meat,noodles,rice, and maybe purple hull peas once a month-very picky!!!

oohhhhh the eclair cake-scrumptious- that's all i would eat and then i wouldn't be able to fit in my sexy nightie-gown!

For special dinners sometines I like to grill big ole porterhouse steaks and broiled or grilled shrimp with red baked potatoes. Sometimes I'll grill some Portobello mushrooms with it. Or shrimp scampi over fettucine with garlic bread and some Pinot Grigio wine.

You can do "Flautas " too.....

Chicken shredded
Sour cream
Corn Tortillas
Season all

Grab your frying pan... add a cup of oil or EVOO heat up to med high heat... Grab your tortillas and warm up in microwave... once you have cooked and shredded your chicken start to roll your tortillas stuffed with chicken... you can use toothpicks to keep them together... add one rolled up tortilla into the oil bottom down so it wont come undone and roll it around in oil til crisp.... have a plate ready with a napkin to soak excess oil... once cooked.... plate them and add sour cream on top... VOILA!
