What should I make for dinner tonight that doesn't take too long to make?
(NB:This isn't necessarily supposed to be a valentine's dinner)

I have frozen ground beef, frozen chicken, garlic, onions, steak
sauce, various soups, rice, cucumber, carrots, red kidney beans, many
spices, roasted garlic and tomato pasta sauce, meat ravioli, frozen
garlic bread, red&white wine.

I'm willing to make a quick trip to the store for a great recipe.

Dear Camradini, 

First of all, I hope that you had a romantic dinner! 

- Appetizer: garlic bread (frozen) 
For another quick version, see: 
BBC: Quick Garlic Bread
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/quickgarlicbread_70366.shtml> 

- Main course: 
Italian Meatballs 
<http://southernfood.about.com/od/meatballs/r/blbb628.htm>

On the side: Rice cooked in one of the soups, might be with some of
the vegetables. You need to steer it once in a while, but could handle
the rest of the stuff in the meanwhile, unless you're a real disaster
in the kitchen.
Quick Risotto
<http://www.geocities.com/webcipes2/rice/r53.html> 

On the side 2: fresh salad (tomato, cucumber, a bit of that parmasan
from the meatballs; or, if you're already at the stores anyways: all
types of green leaves - esp. "baby" ones - plus some nuts, and
parmasan/cheese topping: you can always buy one of these dressings!

Dessert: Chocolate, but of course: 
Quick Chocolate Fudge Sauce
<http://www.101recipes.com/recipe.html?cookbook=desert&category=chocolate&name=Quick+Chocolate+Fudge+Sauce>

You have to buy: 
Parmesan (for meat balls, but also for salad dressing etc.)
Salad Greens

I am glad that it worked out for you!

Just an idea: 

- appetizer: garlic bread (+ option: some mushrooms in
herb/butter/garlic? <http://www.napastyle.com/kitchen/recipes/recipe.jsp?recipe_id=110>).

- Main course: Meatballs <http://southernfood.about.com/od/meatballs/r/blbb628.htm>

politicalguru, those ideas sound good to me. I'll give it a go
tonight. I think I'll do simple garlic gread though, as my girlfriend
doesn't like mushrooms. I actually already have some chocolate sauce
in the fridge (melted chocolate chips) so get some fruit and just heat
up the sauce.

Thanks for ideas/links,
Feel free to post as the answer,
