I wanted to share with you a wonderful menu that B and I made at home for New Year's Eve this year. Even if you don't consider yourself a cook, this is a pretty foolproof menu (as long as you can follow directions!). It's a great meal for birthdays, Valentine's Day, anniversary celebrations, or any other important day that you want to commemorate. I promise, it's delish and worth the time to set the table with your best dishes, light some candles, play some of your favorite music and enjoy the time at home together!
Filet with Balsamic Glaze
Roasted New Potatoes with Greens
Steamed Broccoli or Asparagus
A full-bodied red wine (I prefer Pinot Noir or Cab with this heavy of a steak dish)
Apple Turnovers with ice cream and caramel sauce
or
Molten Chocolate Cakes
While this is definitely not an everyday, weeknight meal, I hope that some of you will bookmark this and whip it up the next time you are planning a nice stay at home dinner (after the little ones are asleep!).

Live the menu, especially the molten cakes - yumalicious! More importantly, it is great to see how well the ultrasound went (thank you for sharing the images)! Yay! And seeing your list of goals is pretty amazing too, you set the bar high, but not out of reach, that is so cool.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you are moved and settling in... at home, at work... and with the new life you are caring for, you have accomplished so much.
Sending you wishes for an extra-special New Year, filled with lots of love and laughter.

Sounds delicious! That's exactly what we did on New Year's Eve - planned a special dinner for after the kids' bedtime. While we didn't go out for a fancy night on the town, it was special and much more my style. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds absolutely FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteThat menu is amazing. I will have to try out some of those recipes. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThe meal sounds wonderful! We had a similar meal with 3 other couples. It was nice to stay in. But maybe the intimate dinner is something we'll have to try soon...shouldn't have to wait for a special occasion!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the ultrasound. So happy to hear everything is going well. We have also decided that we won't find out once we finally get pregnant....Looking forward to seeing your baby posts coming soon!
Hope things are starting to settle in your new house.
Sending you wishes for an extra-special New Year, filled with lots of love and laughter.
