So, my wife's been going through a lot of stress lately, so I figured I'd cook something special for her this weekend. Maybe make it a regular thing, if I don't burn the building down by accident.
Problem is, I'm not a very good cook. I can follow a recipe and toss ingredients into pots and pans, but that's about it. I have no idea what it means to broil or brown or saute. I once managed to set off a smoke alarm while frying eggs.
So I ask you, Halforumites... any suggestions for easy yet delicious dishes I can make? Any suggestions for easy recipes I can find online?
Also, caveats... I have no oven. Ingredients should, preferably, be easily available from my local supermarket. Finally, while I am not averse to spending a few hours preparing a delicious meal, it would rather suck to spend a few hours making something horrible. So I'd prefer to keep the prep time down, at least at first.
Thanks guys!
