    I would try some angel hair pasta tossed with chopped fresh tomatoes, garlic, chopped basil and a little olive oil. You can make some nice garlic bread for him, and a big, crispy salad for the both of you.

    If you're looking for dessert later, strawberries are always nice.

    You could do a pork loin. There are some at the grocery store that are pre-marinated or seasoned and at usually about 130 to 140 calories a serving. And they are less than $10. You could add some steamed veggies (get frozen ones that you steam in the bag) and another side that you two like. It's an inexpensive and low calorie meal as well as super easy and quick to make.

    I'd go for a nice lean cut of steak. Grill that bad boy, serve with veggies, a salad, and brown rice. Add wine and beer as needed. Have some fruit for dessert. Maybe chocolate dipped if you've got calories left.

    filet mignon wrapped in bacon. I can't think of anything that tells a man "I love you" more than beef AND bacon!

    If you want pasta go with whole grain. I love making bulgur wheat with chopped onions, olive oil, garbanzo beans, tomatoes, and instead of eating it with chips, eating it with cabbage! So good. Check out this website:

    1/4c. Whole wheat flour
    2tsp. Beef bouillon granules

    2 tsp canola oil
    1tsp salt

    Put the egg beaters in a shallow dish. Mix flour, sage and bouillon in another dish. Pat chops dry then dip in egg followed by flour mixture. Set aside. In a non stick Pan heat 1 tsp oil over medium heat. Add veggies and salt and cook til soft and startin to brown. Remove from pan but don't rinse it. Add remaining oil and heat over medium high heat.

    I like the parmesan-crusted things, you can take pork loin chops or chicken breasts, dip in egg then a bread-crumbs and parmesan (1/3 cup of each mixed together) and saute in a little oil. It's not the leanest thing, but it's not bad, about 300 cals depending on the serving size of meat, you can serve that over a little pasta with tomato sauce and a nice salad and keep it to 500 cals.

    Bacon-wrapped beef for the win!
