Oven broke. What can I make on the stove for velentines?

Baker_Bride · February 2012

This is the worst timing! What are nice options that I can do on the stove that are still celebratory? I also have a crock pot. I considered lamb shanks in the crock pot. Also, dessert ideas? Thanks!

Osso Buco

Braised Lamb Shanks (made this for V-Day a couple years ago, actually)

Thyme & Feta Lamb Chops

Lamb Chops Au Poivre (made this V-Day '07...and you can tell by the pic :P)

You could also do seared duck breast, seared scallops, etc.

For desserts you could do some sort of fried dough (donuts, zeppole, loukoumades, churros, etc.), homemade ice cream (sundaes), fudge, bananas foster, rice pudding, etc.

I second a red wine sauce steak, and a side of risotto and a green salad.

You're all probably going to make fun of me but is that whole medium rare meat thing really all that important when you're pregnant? I've been avoiding steak because I don't like them well done.

I definitely like the idea of doing risotto; you could also steam lobster (although I'm not sure what the rule is with shellfish and pregnancy).

It's 100% your call, but it's usually fine. My OB said medium or medium rare was fine. It's ground meat that you need to order cooked pretty well, but with something like a steak, you just need to make sure the outside is cooked (there is a whole thing about this with info, but I am totally blanking on the reasons, lol.)

I was on a low carb diet my entire pregnancy, so I ate a lot of meat...I always ate steak medium rare, but burgers were medium well. It's okay to have!

I think this has to do with cutting? Something about the bacteria being on the surface and the knife dragging it through the meat?

My other suggestion was going to be lobster or crab, but if thine you've avoiding steak I think that it'll be a nice Valentine's Day treat for you to have a nice filet. And I definitely had my share of medium rare steaks during pregnancy
