My stand by "impress your man" recipe

If you don't cook or want to try cooking to impress someone - THIS IS the best recipe for that! I made it for Dave and he's still around so I know, it's a keeper. He also raved about it for weeks when in reality, it's one of the easiest recipes I own and there is NO oven required! Amazing, I know. I got it from thenest.com, couples website, a while ago but when I went back to find it - it wasn't there. Such a shame. Luckily you've got me to share it with you instead, hehe!
