What's a good meal I could make?

[wild_turkey]

The wife is kinda under the weather right now so it looks like we'll be spending this V-Day at the house. I'd still like to cook a nice meal for her, but I need some fresh ideas. We cook steaks quite frequently on the grill, so if I go that route it will have to be noticeably better than our normal method. Also, she's not a big fan of seafood, so cooking fish is out. Anyone have another recommendation? Side dishes too please.

Bake a lasagna...

make green beans on the side, drain them and cook them in Italian dressing...it's delicious

I'm making some Salmon fettuccine. You could easily use grilled chicken instead of fish.

I made a rigatoni with spicy lamb meatballs and homemade vodka sauce that was really good, goes well with wine and is semi-fancy sounding. I just got a recipe for normal meatballs but made them with ground lamb and added crushed red pepper, then found a recipe for vodka sauce and made that. I tossed the pasta and sauce and let it reduce a little bit then served the meatballs on top. I think this would be great with the italian-seasoned green beans mentioned above. It's great leftover too.
