never cooked before-simple recipes?

my mom & dad said i could cook them a meal in the next 2 weeks, the thing is i’ve never cooked a whole meal before.
Frying anything at all is out of the question, im absolutely fine with boiling & baking, but nothing that includes splattering or hot oil.
Give me some ideas for 3 courses(starter, main & dessert) which are easy to make & preferably have some kind of meat or fish, but an exceptionally delicious sounding vegetable dish would be of much help aswell.
Oh, my mum is allergic to onions, leeks, springonions, shallots, but she can eat garlic. My dad doesn’t like pork.
Please give me detailed answers, as I have never cooked a whole meal before & this is both a little bit scary & extremely exciting! -x-thanx-x-

Okey doke, hmm well I would recommend Bake Ziti as a main simply buy the ziti noodles (comes in packages) you can buy them ready to bake or the kind that need to be boiled first, in any case if you need to boil them then do so and then drain them, then spray a deep dish cooking pan with some type of non-stick spray such as Pan or something, after the noodles are drained you can put them in a pot with some tomatoe sauce (which comes in cans) I would recommend you add a tad bit of brown sugar for a nice taste then mix them all together, then pass the noodles and sauce into the baking dish you can then add shredded cheese (alot) and bake for 20 to 30 minutes it will be a delicious meal.

As for starters, you can always buy a french baggette (sp? i mean french bread basically) cut them into slices and douze a little oil and garlic powder on them (you can replace oil with butter) then put them in the oven for 10 to 20 minutes (or until you see they are nice and golden you dont want to leave them in for too long)

baked ziti goes WONDERFUL with a side of salad so some chopped letuce (washed of course) with a few sliced tomatoes and some dressing, simple and easy but compliments the noodles very well.

For desert perhaps a store bought cheese cake can seal the deal ?

Hope I helped and good luck
