Well it is about a month and half away but I need to figure out a romantic evening for my husband. I am thinking about cooking a really nice meal more than likely steak and potatoes. I also will have salad and bread. I am not sure of what to make for dessert as of yet. Thinking of something with strawberries.

Do you know what you will prepare?

Ya know, I might not mind going out for dinner this year, but I know it won't happen, so I might as well start thinking about what to make.

I might just do a simple baked ziti, crusty bread, salad and some sort of dessert (maybe with strawberries and/or ice cream). And of course, a bottle of wine, probably Principato (Olive Garden's house wine)

orrrrrrrr.....maybe i can convince hubby to make dinner. He's cooked valentine's dinner once, but I must say, it was a big hit!

Good idea, I am also hoping to go out to dinner. If not I would love to make some seafood, shrimp or lobster, and maybe a salad, and a baked potato, with some cheesy biscuits, or hush puppies sounds good. Maybe I should just make my husband take me out for seafood.

We usually try and go out on Valentines Day. I always pick Red Lobster. lol

I LOVE their broiled flounder and their shrimp pasta.

Their bread? YUMMMMMY!

Ooh, great thread!

We NEVER go out on V-day, the crowds are insane. I just can't deal. Much more romantic to stay home all by ourselves.

In the past I have done:

Veal Oskar (sp?)
Crab cakes
Parmesan sage crusted pork chops
London broil

Last year I made fried ice cream balls for dessert. YUM! It's kind of a PITA to do for only 2 people though, but very fun and special.

I have also done individual chocolate chunk bread puddings for dessert (recipe from cooking light).

I'm sure I will be back with more ideas. This is one of my favorite dinners of the year.
