Since I will have Friday off is time to take care of business. Besides the boring stuff like putting gas in my car and changing my name legally I am going to surprise James with an awesome Dinner. He has been so good to me this past week. I normally get home around 6:15pm which is almost dinner time therefore I don't have much time to make dinner, so James has been helping out by prepping the food so by the time I get home I finish cooking it. I was very impressed that he was able to cook rice without it being soggy or too dry(rice is an art to perfect).
So, what will be on the menu? Well I was going over the Housekeeping Mag. and encountered a mouth watering Chocolate-Peanut Pave.
Since James is a chocoholic I thought it would be a nice treat. Not just for him but for myself as well. This Pave is layered with crunchy pieces of peanuts and chocolate whipped cream. Mmm YUM!
Don't think I forgot about the food ha ha. For Dinner I will be cooking Italian Breaded Chicken w/Two Potato Gratin.
Can you guess the two types of potato? They are sweet and Idaho(normal) potato backed with red onions and heavy cream.
Yes I listed the menu backwards but who cares! Its my blog ha ha. All recipes are in the links below. I want to make it special since he did surprise me with a romantic dinner that he cooked all by himself. He told me it took him a little over 2 hours(poor baby). He made Obi-one Cannelloni. He's a star wars fan.
Well hopefully everything will taste delicious. I will be posting photos of what my dishes look like possibly on Monday when I am back at work. Don't suprised if we gain pounds after this dinner. ;P
