i want 2 cook a romantic meal for my partner any ideas?

Question

it needs 2 be really nice but easy lol

Answer 1

bake some chicken breasts, then top with cheese (melted), tomatoes, mushrooms and onions, served with saute potatoes, pea's and baked Tomatoes (halved). And a side of Garlic bread.

Is an easy meal to make, heavy on the carbs, makes people feel full and lethargic, so will get lucky afterwards. lol

good luck and enjoy

Answer 2

Keep it super simple! Maybe a nice green salad. Get some mixed greens and if you want to make it more fancy than a regular salad, get some sliced almonds, dried cranberries, and a Granny Smith apple. Chop up the apple, preferably peeling it first, and put the apple, cranberries, and almonds on top of the greens. If you and she like blue cheese, sprinkle a little of that on top, and use a little vinaigrette dressing. In the interest of keeping it simple, you may want to use a bottled dressing or something like Good Seasons mix. Otherwise, try looking up some vinaigrette dressing recipes - they're generally pretty simple. For a main course, maybe something simple but delicious like a roast chicken. I don't have a favorite recipe, but again, you can look that up on the net and find a lot of easy recipes. Have that with something simple like steamed asparagus and rolls. For dessert, go simple and luxurious. If you've already overtaxed your cooking skills, just buy a few lovely chocolate truffles, some raspberries, some strawberries, and if you wish, some champagne. Wash the berries, and just arrange it all on a lovely plate and share. Keeping it simple is best, because if you stress too much, you won't have any fun and you won't BE any fun. If you're more relaxed, it will be a much nicer evening. Also, most girls - at least the ones who are worth it - will appreciate the efforts regardless of the outcome!

Answer 3

This is a good one and something my husband loves. Thi ssounds like alot of work, but it really isn't. I promise.

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 (You could buy the pudding cups and transfer them to the glasses, eliminating cooking)
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!
