What's a good Valentines Day homemade meal??

Question

My boyfriend and I just wanted to have a nice, quiet dinner at home.this year..what are some ideas?? We are thinking sort of fancy...steak, shrimp...etc... Remember though, I'm not the greatest cook...I may need step by step directions. Thanks a bunch!!! :)

Answer 1

Steak is pretty easy and so is crab.

Steaks

Season with a bit of garlic, salt and pepper.
Get the grill going or the broiler and cook for 10 minutes per inch of thickness.

Crab

Boil water in a large pot. Season the water with salt (I also like garlic). Place the crab legs in the boiling water and cook.

A great side dish with both is rice with a bit of butter. Add a vegetable salad with crumbled blue cheese or feta on it.
For dessert, serve champagne and strawberries.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Answer 2

a fire Picnic Have the settee pulled up in front of a roaring fire, with some champagne on ice. For an further touch, serve strawberries to convey out the champagne's style, or drop pomegranate seeds into the glass to tinge the bubbly purple. once you are the cooking type, make a homecooked Valentine's Day meal. If no longer, order out out of your popular place, yet be helpful to ditch the bins and replate the meal elegantly on advantageous plates. do no longer forget great music enjoying on the stereo!...........

Answer 3

Well whatever is your favorite would be a good idea. You've got enough time to try making it as a test-run. You could pick it up at your favorite restaurant.

Another idea... kinda cheesy, but you could make a heart shape pizza. Pizza dough is super easy to make (look online for recipe), and just shape it like a heart. You could make it fancy by putting little shrimp as a topping.

And wine makes any meal fancier, pick up a nice desert from the bakery too!

Answer 4

Well anything you both love to eat, maybe some chicken grilled on the stove top mixed with green peppers and any other fruit you love, But for dessert you HAVE to have chocolate cake, just a little one, so you can share, its sexy!
Other dinner ideas'
Easy-Spagetti with garlic bread
Hard-Steak flavored with yummy wine and veggies grilled.

Think of the way you look as you eat, what will flatter you (tiny bites) what will not (slurping,shrimp,hand food).

Answer 5

steak is easy to cook shrimp needs no cooking asapargus is very easy!!!
so here is what you do get some shrimp cocktail! put the frozen shrip in water to thaw!
once thawed serve! with cocktail sauce! while you are munching on that! or holding off on that! :) cook the steak! it all depends on what kind you get but marinated it with some itailian dressing and other herbs and GARLIC! it's always a winner!
let it set for at least an hour overnight is best!
when you cook it start on one side! cook about 3 minutes - 7 minutes agian depends on the meat you got! if it is thin then less time!
flip one time and leave on for another 3-7 minutes to check it run a knife throught it to see if it is how you want it pink in the middle is my fav!!!
while the steak is cooking get your asparagus <- the best veggy in the world! next to collard greens!
and cut in to inch squeares! toss the yukky ends off they are to hard to eat!
get oil! about a table spoon and toss in a frying pan!
add the asparagus cook for about 10 minutes i watch my food like a hawk so i stir all the time! to ensure it don't burn it is supper yukky burnt!
after the aspargus has cooked! remove and add some parmashun cheese cover it use ALOT!
then serve and enjoy!\

Answer 6

Have a lobster/crab boil. All you have to do is by the Lobster and crab legs (you can also get shrimp) and get some crab boil mix and follow the directions. You basically dump everything into a pot, bring it to a boil and thats it. You can lay down blankets and you and your man can just lay around a make a mess together.

Answer 7

Seafood.....all different types.
Shrimp (buy them green) and fry them with BBQ sauce..yum!
Octopus, marinate them in oil & garlic
Oysters.....dice up some bacon, put it on the top of the oyster with a bit of oyster sauce and bake in oven...mmmnnnnn
Calamari rings
and a nice piece of T-bone steak if your still hungry, sprinkled with origano
**After all this i dont think you'll be needing any food 4 dessert hehehe

Answer 8

I reckon pasta with garlic bread for the main meal, followed by warm chocolate mud cake with icecream for dessert.

Answer 9

Stouffers Lasagna, and other Stouffers stuff. Because the oven does the work. The less time you spend in the kitchen, the more time with your boyfriend.

Answer 10

Order a pizza and do your cooking in the bedroom..no directions needed
