I don't want to take my GF out because no one is taking reservations on that day, therefore it's going to be packed and nothing is more romantic than waiting an hour to dine (sarcasm).
So I'm looking to cook for her. Problem is, I don't know what to cook and what environment I should put up. Any tips?

My advice would be not to extend yourself past your skills. go for something simple. Make a nice salad, get a bottle or two of wine. make a simple pasta dish (no garlic please!) I would suggest finding fresh pasta because it cooks so fast 3-5 minutes. And buy some nice pasta sauce. Don't forget dessert. Pick this up at the bakery or a chocolate store.
At the end of the day she's going to be happy you took the time to make her anything so it won't really matter what you cook!
chicken marsala, bitch. Pretty easy to make, and tasty.

not gonna work. german fernandez is vegetarian i believe.
Pre-heat your oven to 325, and get out a big oven pot with a lid.
Cut up one pound of a decent cut of steak. It doesn't have to be filet, but something of a higher grade like London Broil does the job nicely.
Brown it lightly in some extra virgin olive oil (not too much, use a low heat on the stove).
Add a can of french onion soup, any brand will do, I like Swanson. Total amount should be about 2 cups or a little more of the soup though.
Fill the empty can with red wine, and pour that in with the soup and the beef into the oven pot. Add a teaspoon or so of garlic (not too much!) and some mushrooms if you like mushrooms (I don't use them).
Put it in the oven for 2-2.5 hours, stirring once every hour or so. Serve with buttered noodles, a vegetable, and red wine. Classy, uncomplicated, delicious, just takes a little forethought and planning ahead.
