Something with chicken. I'm thinking fajitas since they're easy, but I may make chicken Parmesan instead.
Going to make some chili's chili con queso tonight

Went out with the parents today. Grilled pork, zucchini and mashed potatoes with barbecue and bearnaise sauce. Yummy.

I am truly batting a thousand this week when it comes to dinner. My peppers were bad, so we ended up getting take out Chinese food.

Okay, gonna have the girlfriend over for lunch on Sunday, promised to cook for her and so forth 
After a bit of probing her culinary interests, I thought of this:
Spaghetti bolognese á la Mikko (student's version: pepper, paprika, oregano, basil, a touch of soy sauce. I don't want to cause her the runs so I'll skip the tastyliciously hot piri piri I've been using of late )
served with fresh-from-the-oven herb baguettes, with butter.
Top it off with home-made strawberry rahka.
I'm no Tin or Leslie when it comes to cookin', but I think those are pretty decent.

NR - If it's something you're confident cooking, then it is a good choice. I bet it will be delicious and she'll enjoy it.

Thanks, Wasabi. And yes, having cooked that meal for close to ten years now on a weekly basis, I think I'm confident with it ^_^

My husband made some chicken and some cheese enchiladas. I made blueberry buckle for dessert.
Chilis salmon, rice pilaf and mixed veggies. After going hungry all day. This is the BEST %$^@ing thing I've ever tasted!!!one!!
I figured since I opined about how to cook it in another thread, I should try my hand at this:
I have bratwursts on standby in case I can't convince anyone to try it. Calli's youngest son was in the kitchen when I took it out of the bag and I asked him "Want to watch me clean it? I gotta cut the fat off and cut all the big arteries out." and I swear he went "aaa!" and did this:
:aaahhh:
before running out of the kitchen!
I texted Calli and told her what I was making and she sent back "Awww baby noooooo!"
I figured since it's a big cut of tough meat, I'd try stewing it. I cut it into pieces, dredged in flour (with salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder), browned on both sides, and then added carrots, potatoes, onions, beef broth, thyme and a bit of cabernet sauvignon for the acid component. Should be ready in about 90 minutes, and I'll let you guys know how it turned out

Godspeed, Tin. I know I'd be the way Calli's son was. I flinch at the idea of eating innards.
Except liver casserole. That's tasty. Once a year. With cranberry sauce.

so, it tastes like sirloin stew. It's quite tasty. I cut the pieces small enough that it was done about 30 mins sooner than I expected. It probably helps that it's slightly different, component wise, than big tough cuts of skeletal muscle.
I badgered the son until he tried a piece. He liked it, but then thought about the fact that it was hearts, shuddered, and ate a bratwurst instead.
Here, 'down south' we like chicken livers battered and fried with country gravy. Yum
