Only 8 short days to the most romantic day of the year and I am in the middle of planning a super special dinner for two. Soft music, dim lights, lacy clothes, red hearts, rose petals...the whole shebang. You know I love going all out and I take Valentine's Day (ok any holiday) very seriously. Even if I don't have a significant other, I'm planning this party for you. Follow my step-by-step, day-by-day instructions and next Wednesday you'll have one seductive, sexy, homemade, memorable meal with your lover. Yesterday I made your love note invitation and today I'm talking food. To indulge yourself (and your boy-toy) with my menu, read more
You can make this alone or with your man, but either way the food is savory, delightful, and to die for. Start the evening with a classic clam dish, Clams Casino, bite sized bits of scrumptious heaven that can be made ahead of time and will make your sweetheart's heart fill with love. Next mix an easy Leafy Green Salad filled with fresh herbs and dressed in a light lemony vinaigrette. Your main squeeze will fall in love all over again when he tastes the decadent main dish, Petite Filet with Gorgonzola and Porcini Mushroom Sauce and Horseradish Mashed Potatoes. He'll be expecting a typical super chocolatey dessert, so surprise him one last time (ok, you'll leave a few surprises for later in the bedroom, wink, wink) with a French variation of cheesecake, Coeur a la Creme with Raspberries (translation: cream heart).
Already planned the masterpiece menu for your man? Tell me about it below. Check back tomorrow for the drink pairing for this menu and all this week for more Come Party With Me.

Sounds great, if I was the one doing the cooking. But lucky me, The Hubs is a fantastic chef so he does all the cooking.

SIDE DISH 1: Baby Brussels Sprouts with Buttered Pecans
SIDE DISH 2: Herbed Spatzle
DESSERT: Heart-Shaped Double Layer Angel Food Cake with fresh strawberries macerated in Grand Marnier (served with champagne)
I posted the more detailed instructions for the menu here:

I invited friends casually via email and have menus written on doileys at each place setting.
2Looks good......but we are going out to eat on V-Day.
3Yum! My boyfriend is Superman on the grill so he is making us steak and shrimp on the grill... I think those horseradish potatos would go great!!!! We love a little kick in our food and they sound awesome!
4My sweetheart will be out of town, so I am planning a special 'breakfast in bed' when he gets back... cuz that is where we plan to be all day!
Breakfast will be a strawberry and cream cheese stuffed french toast with orange-butter. I was thinking of putting a twist on the mimosa and using pink grapefruit juice, any advice?
