Valentine's Day Menus from Rachael Ray

We will be out of town on Valentine's Day this year, so we celebrated a little bit early. Ever since I started cooking, my husband and I have eaten in on Valentine's Day. It's so much easier - you don't have to deal with high prices, crowded restaurants, and limited menus. Plus, we get to eat whatever we want and share a bottle of wine without anyone worrying about driving home!

This year I made Rachael Ray's Fast 'n Fancy menu: Roasted Baby Potatoes with Rosemary
Green Beans and Portobello Mushroom Saute, Beef Tenderloin Steaks with Gorgonzola, and Orange Cream Liqueur Dessert. I made everything except the dessert and it was all good stuff and easily made in about 30 minutes.

Here are more Rachael Ray Valentine's Day Menus for your consideration:

• Valentine's Dinner for Two: Romaine Sweet Hearts, Chickadee Wings, Little Dumplings, Maine Squeeze Lobster Skewers, Caramel Baby Cakes, and Scotch Buttercups


• Date Night Dinner for Two: Pan-Seared Scallops with Pesto and Tomato, Rosemary-Crusted Rack of Lamb with Roasted Fennel and Red Onion, Subtly Spicy Chocolate-Chili Brownies, and Vodka Still Works!


• Gorgonzola-Stuffed Pork Tenderloin


• "Butter Me Up" Vermicelli with Buttery Butterflied Shrimp


• Date Night Fondue


• Chicken in a Love Nest with Asparagus Almondine


• Feta-Stuffed Chicken with Tomato-Watermelon Salad


• Baked Chicken with Herb Skin and Roasted Garlic Cream Gravy [this is an amazing recipe, but it is time consuming]

Desserts - these are the most popular chocolate desserts from Rachael's magazine website:

1. Chocolate Pizza

2. Chocolate Peanut Bites

3. Triple Chocolate Ice Cream Cake

4. Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Crunch

5. Molten Chocolate-Mint Cakes
