what is the best new years eve dinner for me and my bf????

Question

im cooking for new years and i have noooooooooooo idea what to cook and ideas....i want it to be romantic

Answer 1

Some nice steaks...T-bone or porterhouse..smothered with mushrooms and onions...Baked potatoes with sour cream...broccoli with cheese sauce...Yum! Now I'm hungry!

Answer 2

I would make a pan of lasagne maybe a day ahead so you can fuss over a great recipe. There are so many out there, even simple search on yahoo will give you lots of choices.
That way, you can pop it in the oven when you need it, make up a little salad, warm the bread with the lasagne... you won't be rushing around and your kitchen will be pretty and clean. While the lasagna is baking, you can enjoy cheese and crackers, maybe some grapes and sliced apple with a glass of Champagne (keep the rest of the bottle chilled for midnight toasting). Serve the lasagne with Chianti Riserva, of course.
Your boyfriend might enjoy picking up a dessert on his way to your house. Maybe he can be trusted with selecting Champagne, too.
If he doesn't bring Cooks, he may be a keeper. If he does bring Cooks, that's good for steaming mussels. Be discrete.

Answer 3

For a salad, you can try something a little different - some arugula, diced pear, crumbled blue cheese, walnuts, and sprinkle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The sweet fruit, nuts, and vinegar and cheese play off each other really well.

For a neato appetizer, take fresh figs (if you can find them), only 1 or 2 for each of you. Cut them half way and stuff with soft goat cheese. Wrap in pancetta or cured ham, and broil for about 6 minutes. Drizzle with honey. Mmmmm! Very rich, you won't want more than 1 or 2.

For a dinner with the BF, unless he's a vegetarian, steak always works. Sometimes around the holidays butchers will have filet on sale. I'd buy a whole or half if it is, slice it and feeze the extras. I like to wrap peppered bacon around mine and broil plain or with gorgonzola on top.

If you both like fish, take a talapia filet (an evironmetnally and ecologically responsible fish; unlike Sea Bass) and spread pesto over one side. Roll up and tooth pick it. Broil with a lemon slice over it.

Answer 4

Try fonduing. You'll need a fondue pot or two and usually you can get those at Target for $15.

Course 1: Cheese fondue
Course 2: Salad
Course 3: Meat and vegetable fondue (steak, lobster, potatoes, etc.)
Course 4: Chocolate fondue with strawberries

Rule for the evening: you can only eat the foods that the other person feeds you.

I did this with a former boyfriend, and it lead to an amazing New Year's evening. Very sensual.

Check the websites below for some fondue recipes.

Answer 5

easily "A" there is not something romantic approximately getting broke, staying homestead doing something it somewhat is interior the norm, jet snowboarding in the dark is inquiring for 3 hundred and sixty 5 days to start up ideal (freak injuries may well be prevented). club's too packed and you'd be able to try this on any given weekend, in case you bypass to the skate park i'm specific they are going to kick you out as a results of fact it closes at a undeniable time, getting a gaggle of beers and all that extra advantageous disgusting difficulty is being to lots of a "purple neck" (enable's scratch that off the record) "A" is the only difficulty that seems could take ideal training and making plans it somewhat is what makes it that far extra romantic.

Answer 7

Personally, It think him cooking you dinner would be romantic. But, I love to cook and I'd try a Chateaubriand for two, maybe a couple lobster tails, a great tossed salad, warm fresh bread, some asparagus. Oops, forgot desert and that, of course, would be you.

spaghetti
sauce,
1/2 lb ground beef
2 italian sausage links (take out of casing)

For dessert taramasu.

Answer 9

My new hubby & I are having cornish hens with an herb rub in a rotisserie...if you don't have one, the oven is good.
I'm making stuffing & baked potatoes, a big tossed salad, crusty french bread, and cheesecake for dessert.
All eaten by candlelight, of course!
Good luck!

Answer 10

I'd go with some pasta, especially if your going out later and might be drinking some. Some nice spaghetti or Lasagna, some French bread and some salad.
