If you are making Vday dinner at home
What's on the menu. Help!
We aren't going out this year and we want to cook a meal together ("and no distractions" as my dh says, lol).
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: If you are making Vday dinner at home
I'm not doing a Valentine's dinner but some things that may work well for you:
Seared scallops (I skipped the salad part)
Creme brulee (you can use regular sugar instead of vanilla sugar; don't skip the water bath.)
Macadamia-nut crusted fish (I used halibut and a mixture of macademia nuts, almonds and pecans - turned out amazing; I skipped the salsa part.)
Flourless chocolate cake (really easy to make, and goes well with whipped cream, fruit, chocolate sauce, whatever.)
Martha's Mac and Cheese
Roasted broccoli
sm23 the fish, mac and cheese, and broccoli sounds sooo good.
Thanks guys! Keep the recipes coming, I like options
They all really are good! I made the fish and broccoli for DH before and he loved them. The mac and cheese takes some work but it was a huge hit at Thanksgiving. Total comfort food.
Thanks for the heads up. I think I might prep everything on Sunday and then do stuff like the mac and cheese when I get home from work. Thanks again
Tea Time for Lulu
Yum. I am doing a homemade scavenger hunt after dinner and the first stop in this Italian (Caffe Pascucci) coffee place that sells really nice desserts.
I am not a baker, so buying something decadent hopefully works!
DH has yet to choose our menu but I think we will be doing this:
Meatloaf "cupcakes". So mini meatloafs in cupcake sizes with mashed potato "frosting".
the roasted broccoli recipe looks great so I think that will be our side dish
