So what do you and your sweetheart have planned for the evening? I'm sure a lot of you have plans to go out for dinner, but if you are like me and want to avoid the packed out restaurants here is a little suggestion for a nice romantic meal:
Shrimp Scampi Neely Style
In my Recipe page click on the link for a video of the Neely's making this delicious shrimp scampi. The recipe is super easy, it calls for a pound of shrimp, fresh parsley, butter, white wine, garlic, and lemon juice. I tried this recipe out for the first time last night and it came out great, I added a little old bay to the shrimp for extra flavor. Don't forget to serve with salad and garlic bread!
A nice glass of wine and some candle light!
Set the table and the mood, break out your nice glasses and don't forget the candles!
Oreo Brownie Sundae
Chocolate and Valentines day seem to go hand in hand. I found a great Oreo brownie recipe on the Betty Crocker website. Check out my Recipes page for the link. Top this brownie with some vanilla bean ice cream, hot fudge and caramel...yummy! Something sweet for your sweety!!
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Who doesn't like chocolate covered strawberries? They are delicious and are perfect for Valentines day. These are so easy to make at home. You can buy chocolate dip from the grocery store, my favorite is Dolci Fruitta, it is a small container of chocolate chips and you melt them in the microwave then dip your fruit, very simple and quick. If you want to get fancy like some of the chocolate dipped strawberries you see in the stores, you can color some icing or piping gel and decorate with with a piping bag. I did this using a #1 piping tip, and then sprinkling with some red decorating sugar. They came out cute, I forgot to take a picture!!
Sherries Berries!!
If you don't want to be bothered with making your own, or if you want to order them as a gift for your valentine, I hear that Sherries Berries are the best. Click on the name it's linked to their site.
Well that's all for now, I hope you guys have a wonderful Valentines Day!
