Choose a main dish that you can prepare ahead of time, so you can enjoy the evening. Good
choices are baked salmon or chicken. Just place either one in a baking dish, add whichever
marinade you prefer and refrigerate. When you are ready just bake it until it's done.
Serve with mixed greens and fancy store-bought vinaigrette. Grab French bread, or fix some
wild rice. Dessert could
be anything from cheesecake with fresh fruit, to chocolate dipped strawberries to
chocolate mouse that you can make ahead and refrigerate. Or serve assorted cheeses.
Setting The Scene
Set the table with a tablecloth,
cloth napkins and candles. Take out your good china and crystal. Since dinner will be just
for the two of you, you don't have to worry about damaging any of your special tableware.
Now is the perfect time to enjoy all these fancy goodies you received as wedding gifts.
Take the time to dress up, and do
your hair and makeup. I feel sure your spouse will appreciate it and you will feel like
you are actually going out. For even more fun get ready in separate rooms and ask your
date to come pick you up.
Turn down the lights and light
the candles. Play some soft, romantic music, or some songs that have special meaning for
the two of you. You never know, with the right music, your romantic Valentine's Day dinner
may end with some slow dancing in your dinning room.
Staying in doesn't mean you can't
have a wonderful romantic Valentine's Day dinner. You never know, this may turn out to be
the most romantic Valentine's date yet.
