What's a good "romantic dinner" to cook for my fiancee tomorrow night?

Question

I think I want a light menu with atleast three courses.

I'm a WOMAN

Answer 1

champagne or a crisp white wine (if you indulge)

-Tomato-basil salad w/olive oil&balsamic vinegar
-Shrimp Scampi: alone, over pasta, or surrounded by mashed potatoes
-chocolate fondue w/any type of berry for dipping

(freeze a few berries and drop into your champ. glasses-pretty and good)

Answer 2

Chicks love lasagna for some reason. Add a salad and a light sorbet and you are golden.

Here is some more advise if you need it.

The biggest thing you can do are.

1: Use a table cloth, cloth napkins etc.
2: Play some nice italain opera
3. Break out the good plates (borry form MOM)
4. Don;t let her see the mess. Clean everything before hand. The table should be set, the food ready and a couple of candles lit when she arrives. No lights.
5. Have an iced bottle of Champaign and prepared to make a HEART to HEART toast. This will seal the deal. WOmen love toasts like they love Hallmark cards. If you all get married, that will be what she tells her grandkids

The key is to have the atmosphere set the second she walks in. If everything is normal, you cannot go back,.

Good luck

Answer 3

Serve a simple gazpacho soup and green salad for the first course.

Follow that with a roasted chicken (the ones from the grocery stores are JUST FINE on a hot night), with garlic bread, baked potato, and corn on the cob.

Ply him with a yummy Liebfraumilch or Riesling wine between courses.

Finish off the meal with a simple dessert. You could do something as easy as a slice of carrot cake with a scoop of French Vanilla ice cream, or for something a little nicer try this:

2 peaches, peeled and sliced, tossed with lemon juice
2 T brown sugar,
2 T butter or margarine
4 T rum or brandy.
1 pint Raspberries
1/2 cup sugar
2 scoops French Vanilla ice cream

Mash together raspberries with sugar and remaining 2 T rum or brandy. Let sit while preparing the rest.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the brown sugar until the crystals dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in 2 T rum or brandy. Stir in peaches. Spoon into 2 serving dishes.

Put one scoop of ice cream over each serving of peaches. Spoon raspberries over the top. Enjoy!

Answer 4

Something very cute I have done at a couple's Valentine Dinner....purchase marinaded jumbo shrimp, you only have to grill them for a few minutes in a pan and they're done (also you could buy plain and doctor them up yourself, but I don't know your skill level). Make a simple pasta such as linguine, and an easy sauce (a cheese or oil based, from a jar). Then before serving, take two shrimp and put them 'head together' as if they were kissing. Run a wooded skewer through them, and it forms a heart shape!! You set these on top of the pasta, or you could do up a bunch and have them on a platter.

Answer 5

Tough question to answer. Don't know his likes or tastes. As long as you make, that alone should make it special. I it doesn't ...wellllll. But I think what makes it most romantic is the setting...atmosphere. The light three course is a good idea. That way you can enjoy it yourself a little more without getting all stressed out. Enjoy and have fun. Congrats on your engagement. Let us all know how it went!!

Answer 6

There is a show on TLC called Take Home Chef. This guy always makes wonderful meals that are really romantic. Most of them have at least 3 courses and there is a variety of different flavors/origins. Take a look at some of them and use your own discretion. I hope that everything works out!
Good Luck!

Answer 7

As an appetizer you could start with some oysters to get him in the mood, and then for dinner...
Beef tenderloin lightly seared and then broiled until medium well, sauteed red potatoes with dill & butter, mixed greens with your favorite dressing, warm up a baguette and serve w/ balsamic & olive oil
For dessert, melt some dark chocolate and dip some strawberries in it then chill to harden, cuddle up and drink champagne and feed them to eachother

Answer 8

I don't know if this is what you want, but when my husband and I were dating I made him dinner one evening:

Cornish hens rubbed with salt, pepper, and assorted herbs. If I remember right, I used lemon-herbs, garlic, tarragon, and- I think either oregano or basil.

broccoli and cauliflour with cheese sauce

Baked potato with butter and sour cream

And a layer cake topped with blackberry sauce: I lived next to a blackberry hedge at the time and so was able to get fresh berries.

And I set the table with candles.

Enjoy your dinner!

Answer 9

A dark lettuce and tomato salad for openers. Steak, cooked medium unless you know preference otherwise, baked potato with sour cream, and asparagus. Roll and butter. Strawberry shortcake for dessert.

Answer 10

I think you should cook him something he has not had in a very long time. Like you should contact his mother to find out her recipe for his favorite food and make that.

Answer 11

1. spinach salad with warm bacon dressing topped with croutons
shrimp scampi over angel hair pasta with steamed asparagus topped with hoolandaise sauce
rolls
key lime pie
ice tea and wine to drink

2. hearts of lettuce salad with sliced black olives, diced cucumbers, baby tomato's, and your favorite dressing topped with croutons
medallions of pork tenderloin with roasted new potato's and asparagus topped with hollandaise sauce or green beans cooked with chopped bacon
rolls
key lime pie or sliced pound cake topped with spumoni (italian ice cream)
ice tea and wine to drink

both dinners you could have champagne chilling
