What should i have for dinner? I'm making if for me and my gf.?!
Answers: She is allergic to mushrooms, olives, and lactose intolerant.
There are 3 things you must first think of:
1. Her lies, dislikes, and allergies and intolerance's
2. Budget
3. Time and your cooking ability
That being said you don't have to spend a ton of money and make a gourmet meal. Keep it within your ability, make something she really likes, if your not sure call her mom or a sister and ask them what she really likes or if there is a recipe they have that she really likes and take it from there. Also look online there are a ton of websites that have recipes. I like http://www.recipezaar.com/
How about some nice ribeye steaks and a healthy salad?
chinese
Spaghetti & Meatballs
How about pecan breaded chicken or tilapia with some steamed veggies or salad and roasted potatoes. Don't forget dessert, thats the best part :)
Steak!
Run over to the grocery store and pick up an already roasted chicken from the deli. They are delicious. The deli also has side dishes and deserts.
OR how about rib eye steaks:

Mmmm you could make a chicken cordon bleu....take a chicken breast and wrap it with ham and a little cheese and bake at 350degrees until cooked (about 1hr depending on size of breast)
serve with your favorite veggie's,a salad and some dinner rolls.
For dessert make a fruit pie with your favorite fruit :)
