Romantic Valentine Dinner for Two

February 01, 2012

Pamper yourselves with a very special dinner just for two! Make it an evening to celebrate your love with good food, good company and romantic music. Serve indulgent chocolate sweets to your sweetie as your meal comes to a close. What better way to say, "I love you"?

Scatter Hearts for Special Messages
  • While setting the table, arrange small candy hearts with messages on them at each place. During the meal, each of you can create special messages for the other by connecting a few of the messages on the hearts. Enjoy the game of making serious and funny messages!

Bring Back That Special Song
  • That special song-once you hear it, you're automatically brought back to the day you met, your first date, your first kiss, or your wedding day. Get a copy of your special song on CD or download, if you don't already have it, and play it during the meal as a surprise. You might want to bury it between other romantic melodies so your dinner is filled with special background music. When your song plays, it will be a surprise to you both! Why not interrupt your meal with a dance? It's very romantic!

Nibble Decadent Chocolate
  • Pick up some good fancy chocolate hearts from a candy store or gourmet shop. Place a small doily on each dessert plate. Place a cup of the Frozen Chocolate Mousse on the doily, along with a few chocolate hearts (depending on the size).
  • For an extra-indulgent dessert experience, serve cups of cappuccino or latte, too. Add a tasty and symbolic message of love by garnishing the drinks with a heart-shaped sprinkle of cocoa or cinnamon! Hold a tiny heart-shaped cookie cutter over the top of the filled cup and generously sprinkle cocoa powder or ground cinnamon inside the cookie cutter.

Cocktail, anyone? An oversized martini or margarita glass is the perfect serving dish for this updated spirited shrimp cocktail.

You’ll always want to have roasted garlic and tomato on hand when you taste what they do to an otherwise ordinary pasta, basil and tomato toss.
