I am cooking challenged, so please don't recommend anything difficult!! : )What is a good dish to cook for my husband for our 4 year anniversary?
I would just go to a sushi and get some to go, along with seaweed salad and japanese dessert. Also buy miso paste (from asian or health food stores) and mix it with warm water for miso soup. You can add a few thin slices of steamed carrot or a few cubes of soft tofu. Buy some sake (japanese wine, to be served hot). That will most likely impress and please him.What is a good dish to cook for my husband for our 4 year anniversary?

Instant gourmet meal
Anniversary chicken. Its at the www.allrecipes.com website. It is awesome and made just for this occasion.
set up a nice beautiful table and order the food he likes ,to be delivered :-)
This is very easy, and should work.
Beef Supreme
1 package beef stew meat
enough flour to coat meat
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
3 carrots, peeled and sliced (or about a half a bag of baby carrots)
1 medium onion, sliced
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
salt and pepper
cooked rice or noodles
In a microwave safe casserole dish, place meat and flour - stir around till all the meat has flour on it. Cook on high in the microwave about 5 minutes.
Add all the other ingredients except cooked rice or noodles to the casserole dish. Cover. Cook for 5 minutes on high power, then about 20 minutes on medium power. Serve over rice or noodles.
He will be real impressed, and it's really easy.
If you have trouble cooking rice on the stove, try this:
1 cup rice
2 cups water
place in deep microwaveable casserole dish. Microwave 5 minutes on high and about 15 minutes on medium till liquid is absorbed and rice is done (depends on your microwave just how long it takes). It may boil over a little if your dish isn't deep enough, but it's much easier to clean out a microwave than a pan with burnt rice in it!
Good question, but I would ask you some of his favorite foods. I cook a lot, and probably can recomend some ';easier'; dishes. Also, include what he definately won't eat as well... We'll try to ';cook something up'; for you...
Lamb cutlets with wine sauce and mash!
You'll need the following:
400g potatoes
25g butter
2tbsp olive oil
sea salt
ground black pepper
4 lamb cutlets
1 glass red wine
25g cold butter, diced
4 leeks, trimmed and sliced
well, here we go:
1. Peel the potatoes and boil in a pan of water. Simmer for 20 min and drain well. Return to the pan and shake gently over a low heat to steam off any excess moisture.
2. Add the butter, olive oil, and seasoning and mash well until smooth and creamy. Cover and keep warm .
3. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and, when hot, cook the cutlets on a medium to high heat-3min for rare, 4min for medium, 6min for well done.
4. Remove and keep warm. Pour wine into pan and bring to rapid boil. Add cold butter and whisk to the make the sauce. Serve with steam leeks and mash.
Hope I've helped

How come he isn't taking you out for the 4th anniversary? That would be my take.
but if you must cook, try a steak, its' hard to ruin.
Crab and Vegetables Mikado
Serves 6
6 to 8 ounces crab meat from an Alaskan King Crab
1/4 pound fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
1 can bamboo shoots, 6 oz.
1 can of bean sprouts, 1 lb.
4 scallions, sliced 1 1/2 inch thick
1/4 cup soya sauce, Kikkoman light is best
1 tablespoon vinegar
4 teaspoons honey
hot steamed rice
Thaw and drain crab. Slice into chunks. If mushrooms are large, slice in half and saute in butter till golden. Add crab and remaining ingredients to mushrooms; simmer till heated, stirring gently. Serve with hot rice. Rice is good with addition of dried parsley and vegetable both, or maybe a pinch of curry.
I suggest a nice dry sparkling wine like Italian spumante or Trokken Brut. Champagne is a little overwhelming. A nice dessert might be my wife's favourite:
Buy an angel cake from the bakery, as well as a honeydew or canteloupe and a package of light Dream Whip. You can use real whipped if you like. I prefer the lighter quality of Dream whip. Cut the cake into three layers. Take a round cake pan and layer the cake with pieces of fruit and Dream Whip. A nice strawberry sauce or garnish would be a great addition.

LOBSTER....LOBSTER....LOBSTER...Hope you are old enough to remember the movie ';Flash-Dance';....the lobster dinner scene is almost erotic....if you havn't seen it...rent it;buy the lobsters (two one pounders should do it; reason being, you and your mate will probably never finish the meal...) go home, pop in DVD, go directly to the dinner scene, watch it, turn it off, go upstairs, dress for dinner. Boil 6 qts. of water in a deep pot, 10 mins before dinner, pop those suckers head first into boiling water to cover; cook 10 mins; remove with tongs, melt butter, cut lemons serve...(now remember scene from movie) both dig in and Happy Anniversary !!!!
What does your husband LIKE?!?!
But seriously....anniversaries aren't such a big deal for men as they are for women. If your husband is like most guys, he'll be perfectly content when he comes home to find you...
(1) Holding a pizza in one hand,
(2) Holding a six-pack in the other,
and/or
(3) naked.
