What is the best menu for a romantic dinner at home?

Answer 1

Ok without actually looking up specific menus here is what I would think. Definitely start off with a simple appetizer; maybe just some brie baked in bread. Steak (or chicken) and shrimp, green veggies, nothing too filling. And, a light dessert, (tiramasu or chocolate covered strawberries) to share of course.
It's all about atmosphere too though. Table linens, candles, flowers, music and your best china. Dress up too. You don't have to go out to wear nice clothes!

Answer 2

This is a good one and something my husband loves, were havign it Saturday and he doesn't know it yet.

First, for an appitizer chill some wine glasses in the freezer. Once they are chilled fill 3/4 of the way with crushed ice and then top the ice with cold cocktail sauce and then ring the glass with shrimp cocktail sized shrimp, and a lemon wedge. This is an AWESOME presentation and so much fun to eat. You could carry the glasses to the table on a plate lined with a linen napkin.

So, for the dinner, keep it simple.

Ingredients:

20 to 30 shrimp with no tails
1 bag of pre cooked grilled chicken stips cut into bite size pieces (don't buy the frozen, just grab the Tyson ones in the meat section)
Garlic
Olive oil
Butter, not the margerine, real butter
Salt/pepper
Linguini, cooked not rinsed
Fresh Parsley
Lemon
Artichokes, chopped
Capers
A cup of White Wine

In a large pan, heat oil and butter combo, about 4 tablespoons of each. Add the garlic and saute for a few minutes, not burning. Add the chicken and shrimp and cook until the shrimp is done. Add the rest of the ingredients (including the wine) and heat for about 5 minutes, let the alcohol burn off and reduce, then add the noodles that have been cooked and drained but not rinsed and mix it all up and top with fresh parsley and lemon juice when you plate it.

For Dessert you can make these ahead....

Chilled wine glasses
vanilla pudding
chocolate pudding
crushed oreos
cool whip

In the wine glasses, add a layer of vanilla pudding, then a layer of crushed oreos and then chocolate pudding and keep going until you top it with cool whip and more oreos!

You will win his heart with this meal!


Good luck and have fun!

Well, a romantic dinner can be just about anything if you serve it in the buff! Ok, kidding aside, several menus come to mind.

Chicken breasts stuffed with feta and artichoke hearts
Creamy garlic potatoes
Fresh Green beans with almonds

Ribeye steaks
Baked potatoes
Spinach salad with mandarin oranges, cashews, blue cheese and dijon vinegrette

Pork roast seasoned with kosher salt, pepper, and sage
home made cinnamon apples
Mashed potatoes with sour cream and garlic
Green peas

Desserts can range from chocolate silk pie, tiramisu, cupcakes, to homemade chocolate ganache truffles.

Don't forget the flowers, candles and linens!

Answer 4

1. start off with soft classical music in the background...

2. Then for the quick tease get some shimp with dip sauce...
if shrimp isn't your thing then go with some ham roll ups

3. main course - steak with asparagus and rosemary garlic mashpotatos --- use food coloring on the tatos for the romantic feel if ya want <-- never did that so i don't know!!! use your own gut feeling on that one! :)

4. dipped fruit is the best dessart or a fruit smoothie!

Best wishes! Have a great evening!

Enjoy!

Answer 6

All finger foods, from smoked salmon on toast points or oysters in lime juice and hot sauce on the half shell for appetizers, to asparagus spears dipped in curry mayo and rack of lamb for the entree, and classic chocolate covered berries for dessert.

Sliced pears in champagne, Amaretto di Sarona with coffee.

Finger foods mean fingers get licked, then kissed.

Answer 7

Keep it simple, that way your kitchen doesn't end up a mess! (Do you want to be cleaning after dinner or enjoying "dessert"?)
I would stick with a salad, some pasta and bread, then cheesecake. It's simple, but a gold classic! Liven it up with nice table settings and candles.

Answer 8

red wine, cherries topping a mixed finger fruit appetizer with fruit sauce, char grilled rare filet mignon, brown rice, cooked carrots, asparagus. Dessert - vanilla ice cream tooped with a chocolate liquer and chocolate shavings. Bon apetit.

Answer 9

depends on what the person likes!!!!! One idea I heard that I thought was cool was-the wife had a catering company come over and serve them, you know white linen, candles, music, flowers and all. I thought it was a great idea, he liked it too.
