Making a romantic Valentine’s Day Dinner can be stressful. Not only does the food have to be great but you have to think about things like spinach int he teeth and garlic breath. Here is a menu that you can do, complete with links, using the food from the aphrodisiac list, for a seduction level of 10.
Don’t forget your favorite mood music!
Arugula, Pear, Fig, Walnut and Bleu Cheese Salad
- 1 ripe pear, sliced.
-
- 1 tsp honey
Make a bed of the arugula and leaf lettuce on two plates. Arrange the cut pear and figs over the top. Mix the balsamic vinegar, the oil, 1 tsp honey well and drizzle over top. Sprinkle witht he bleu cheese and the walnuts, season to taste with pepper and salt.
or
Filet Mignon with Balsamic Glaze
French Bread
and for dessert?
Anyone of the following dishes:
Earl Grey and Bittersweet Chocolate Terrine
I would consider serving this with a rasperry coulis
Toffee Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake
and of course,
To finish consider this citrus-y Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee.

Since I am not exactly feeling romantic these days, I am going to make chicken pot pie. He loves it. I always burn my fingers de-boning the chicken. Hence I avoid making it. Yes, I know make the chicken earlier and let it cool.
For the kids I will make a cake and cookies. I liked your sugar cookies. I think I will make a white chocolate ganache and add a bit of red food coloring for pink color. Then dip or drizzle the cookies.
Thanks for the suggestions Marye on hoe to make Valentine’s Day special
oops. After I commented I realized I probably breached etiquette by mentioning my menu plans. Sorry.
The cookie idea came from your sugar cookies and your daughters peanut butter cookies. Does that bring a small amount of “making it right?”
Valli-always good to see you. Thanks for stopping by.
