Question

I want to make a romantic dinner for my boyfriend and I need some easy recipes that are yummy and ideas for how to make the night romantic. Please help!

Answer 1

Always think light and inexpensive...the wine is always your main focus in a romantic dinner. Grape based is always the way to go for one the flavor and two it encourages drinking more which we all know speeds the heart up and leads to a wild night making love.
I would suggest something fairly easy
Shopping List
Olive oil if nones at home
Xpress Rice not sure what the brand is at your local store but these come in a variety of flavors. I know of Betty Crocker and Thai Express Chicken Helper..once you reach this part of grocery store you'll see bunch of them look for Mexican or Wild Rice or Jambalaya those are my favorite but the options is all yours to choose pick one based on allergy info or personal taste some of them will contain cheese or beans. I suggest taking an extra box just in case you mess up cooking one.
Next head to the freezer and find preseasoned boneless chicken breasts get about 2 pieces and oh yeah asparagus and thyme.
Dont forget the chocolate mousse cake and the Barry White cd or luther vandross please
Also if you dont have any good china glassware and silverware at home like i do. Gets a pair especially the wine glass.
Head Home
First Place both wine glass empty in the freezer and the wine in the fridge to chill.
Start with the instructions on the box for the rice..usually it will have you start off with a pan of boiling water. Then add rice stir a few and lower heat to its lowest setting and leave for a few mins. Please note on rice use your best judgement call if you open the rice pot too much will ruin it it should take bewteen 10 - 15 mins based on what is said in the instructions if you have a see thru pyrex to cook the rice that'll be great.
Start up another flame a nice saute pan will do great put about 1/4 cup olive oil and cook the asparagus on high heat til crispy brown. You are free to take one out and nibble at it to see if its ready.
Dont forget the rice!!!
Take out cooked asparagus set aside
Get the two pieces of chicken and insert to fry on high heat about 12 mins on each side. Keep rotating chicken until cooked.
Once cooked re insert asparagus and shake the pot cuz we wont be able to flip it like them chefs on tv the seasons off the chicken will blend with the asparagus once blended. Get a knife and scrape the fresh leaves off the thyme and simmer with a cover on low heat this will seal flavor and make you hungry.
Now we wait for mr rice.
The hardest thing about a romantic dinner is timing you dont want it too hot when hes home or too cold. Thats why i suggested the low flames slow cooking that will keep it hot and extend the time til he reaches home. This recipe will invest you about half hour or less..
DONT FORGET TURN OFF THE PHONES.
Have the wine glass ready LUTHER OR BARRY should be sounding out in the house at a low enough volume not to disturb but enhance the mood and the wine preferably wrapped in a new linen on the table when hes in the drive way. Have the china plates by the stove and ask him to call about 5 mins away from the house. Candles should already be lit andsilverware wrapped you should already be in something comfortable and smelling good. Have his robe hanging by the door amd as soon as he steps in strip him of his clothes and put his robe on. And lead him to the table i guarantee he will take over...and have the chocalate mousse sliced and already in the bedroom after the meal say "its time for dessert and pull him to the bedroom feed him tease him and you can take it from there.

Answer 2

I've done baked unsplit boneless chicken breasts that are heart shaped. I used to get the unsplit breasts all the time, you may have to ask your butcher for it special. If you can't find the unsplit breasts you can do this with regular breasts as well.

In the bottom of a covered dish combine 2 Tb good quality olive oil, pepper and salt. You can also add a little lemon juice or white wine and a touch of rosemary if you like, but for romance I'd avoid garlic unless you're both big garlic lovers. Add chicken and turn a couple times to coat. Cover and bake about 45 minutes.
Serve with a baked potato, steamed veges and a green salad.
This is a nice light dinner so you won't be to full for a luscious dessert or ..er..romantic activity. Strawberry shortcake might be fun...you could have it in bed later!
Of course you'll also want some nice wine, have two or three bottles on hand. And candlelight, throughout the house. Don't use scented candles in the kitchen or dining room, they'll interfere wtih the taste of the food.

Answer 4

Go with all finger food you can feed each other like a number of appetizers.

Broiled BBQ shrimp takes about 12 minutes in the oven.

Mushrooms stuffed with shrimp or crab topped with provolone cheese takes about 15minutes in oven.

Hot or cold dips with veggies or chips

Bruchetta

Deviled eggs

Chocolate Fondue with fruit(sliced bananas, strawberries, apples, pineapple etc)


You get the picture! Anything fun and easy. You can get recipes for all this on ANY recipe website for free.

As for the romance a couple of paint brushes and your chocolate fondue turns into chocolate body paint. Add a can of whip cream in an ice bucket fireside or bedside and dessert's on you!

Answer 6

Super, super easy chiken alfredo recipe. I found this in a magazine once and have made it several times and my family loves it. Take a can of cream of mushroom soup and add cream or milk. When it is heated add fresh parmesan cheese...not the grated. Let it melt. Cut up some chicken and cook in a fry pan. When it is almost done add some fresh mushrooms and steamed broccoli. Boil the noodles and get some french bread.

Answer 7

That's so cute. Anyway, I'm not really a fan of fat foods. So baked chicken and vegatables. With some wine and candle light and smooth music in the background. He is going to love it.

Answer 8

Some of the funnest, and most romantic dinners my husband and I had when we were dating and first married (before the babies came - LOL - must have had a lot of those romantic dinners!;]) were grilling out steaks, baked potatoes and salad - this meal has always made my husband a happy man!!!!!

Answer 9

linguine with shrimp scampi. fresh rolls/bread. spinach/strawberry salad with nuts and poppy seed dressing.

for romantic dessert.. easy one is buy some fresh strawberries and the bakers chocolate that you can melt in the microwave in the packaging it comes in. dip strawberry in chocolate about 1/2 to 3/4 covered.. then let cool on a nice plate.

Answer 10

It depends on what foods your man loves to eat.
Just an FYI men and women have a way different idea of what romance is.
