I immediately thought of chicken dishes:
A chicken paprikash over noodles, or a hearty French country stew with chicken. David Leite from Leite’s Culinaria has a wonderful-sounding version of a French country stew.
Maybe a coq au vin with non-alcoholic wine and brandy (if the latter exists?)
A lamb tagine would be a nice meal, if you and Mrs. H like sweet with meat.
