Answer 1

On my anniversary my man took us on a picnic, (I know it's to cold now) but you can do this at home. He got a huge london broil. Seasoned it with seasoning salt & garlic. wrapped it in foil and put in on the grill ( you can use an indoor grill), for about 7 minutes on each side. In another piece of foil he took some baby shrimp with minced garlic and butter, and set that on the grill right before the steaks were done. The shrimp was poured over the steak when it was done. He also made a salad and brought some red wine. It was fabulous.

On another occasion I made him a great meal aswell. I used boneless chicken breast. I thinned it out with a meat mallet (tenderizer) as thin as I could get it.Season it with poultry seasoning, then I spread some onion and chive cream cheese on it then rolled it up and wrapped a strip of bacon over the top, bake this @ 375 degrees for about 25-35 minutes or until bacon is crispy. I served this with alfredo pasta, dress the chicken with chives and a little grated parmesan cheese as well as the pasta.

For dessert chocolate is always great! Chocolate dipped strawberries or even a chocolate mousse.
