Im not the best meal planner and I was hoping you guys couple throw me a bone and help me out some. I'm planning on cooking for the wife on V-day and I want to mix it up a bit and do something special. I've already decided on steak but that's about as far as I've gotten so far. I was thinking grilled steak with a sauce, maybe chimichurri or Oscar. Are there better sauce options to dress it up some? The sides and stuff are where I usually fall short. We have been doing roasted balsamic Brussels sprouts lately that have been good, roasted asparagus is usually our standard. Any input on some sides? Also need a starch. Mashed potatoes are in usual mix so I want something a little different. Not sure what to do for dessert, wife has been dieting and may not want any. Chocolate covered strawberries are easy to do but I feel like it's over done, I plan on buying something from the store because I'm not the best baker and may not have time to bake and cook but if something's fairly simple I'll give it a try. Also thinking about an appetizer but have no idea what would be something fairly easy to do but really tasty with the whole meal. Wife did calamari last year that was really good but I don't want to deal with the clean up from frying. Any ideas there? Wine choice, I was thinking about Pinot Noir or Cab for the main serving and maybe something lighter for first round or dessert. Any direction I can get would be much appreciated. I'll post pictures of everything once it's done.
