For Valentine's Day Ryan and I usually go out to a nice dinner but since the closing our of favorite special restaurant we really didn't want to go anywhere else, so we opted for a special dinner at home.
I had purchased the book "Intercourses; An aphrodiasiac Cookbook" on a tip from my friend Joelen in Chicago. I've owned the book for some time now and had yet to make a recipe from it, so I thought what better time to make something from this book than Valentine's Day. I got the recipe for the Cornish Hens & the Asparagus from this book but tweeked the sauce for the hens slightly by combining it with a similar recipe from Cooking Light Magazine. I really liked the end results.
Here is our dinner, I will post the recipes and further reviews soon.
Our Menu
Crostini with Blue Cheese Butter Spread and Sliced Pears
Cornish Hens with Strawberry-Balsamic Sauce
Asparagus with a Crunchy Panko-Almond Topping
Tuxedo Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
