Valentine's Day Dinner
From CarldeCook (www.carldecook.com)
I asked Kay what she'd like for Valentine's Day Dinner and she said Creamy Chicken Bake, asparagus or Orange Carrots, an Autum Salad and for desert, Cherry Berries on a Cloud. I think I'll make up some Blue Olives the Sunday before Valentine's Day (they need time to marinate) to have with dinner.
Creamy Chicken Bake is a nice smooth flavorful dish that is as good to eat as it is easy to prepare. We just love Kay's asparagus recipe. It, too, is fast and easy. We have it with a little mayo or lemon juice, or mayo with a little lemon juice mixed in. Orange Carrots is a dish we have a couple times a month. The butter orange sauce on the steamed carrotsis a real treat.
Autum Salad is also a big favorite. I am always amazed at how good that simple dressing is and I always toast the walnuts. And then there's Cherry Berries on a Cloud. A great choice and a desert we haven't had for a few years. We are seeing a lot of very large strawberries in the stores so it's just the right time to have this again.
The combination of the roca blue cheese with the Italian dressing in the Blue Olives is a wonderful combination of flavors and a treat that should not be missed.
Now to make up a shopping list, download it to my Palm and I'll be ready to go shopping.
Happy Valentine's Day to one and all,
Carl and Kay
