Steak and Fettucini Yummm

How about spending a romantic night at home with your love with dinner, a movie, and a delicious dessert? That sounds good to me! This steak & fettucini dinner is one of my favorites because it's such a filling comfort food that after you eat it, you just want to plop on the couch and veg out! :)



Ingredients:
Thinly sliced steak
salt
pepper
1 bag of Frozen Fettucini Alfredo (I get mine from Trader Joes)
Olive oil

Instructions:
Pour the bag of Fettucini into a saucepan and cook on high heat with a lid until cooked (takes about 3-4 minutes), stiring here and there. At the same time, drizzle some olive oil on a pan over high heat. Season the steak with salt & pepper and place in pan cooking 1 minute on each side. Remove from heat. Pour the Fettucini into a large serving dish and top with the Steak. Viola! Valentine's Day Dinner for 2...Yummyyy

Sinfully quick Chocolate Mousse

Perfect "Easy & Quick" dessert for Valentine's Day. This chocolaty mousse will sure be a winner with some Strawberries and whip cream or just plain. I found it on the Food network and modified it a bit to make it faster for us who barely have 5min!











Ingredients:
3 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
9 ounces best quality semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1/4 cup hot water from a recently boiled kettle
1 1/2 cups thawed cool whip or similar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
Put the marshmallows, butter, chocolate and water in a heavy-based saucepan.
Put the saucepan on the stove, over med-high heat, stirring every now and again until it all melts. Remove from the heat. Should be less then 4 minutes. Meanwhile fold the cool whip with the vanilla then fold into the cooling chocolate mixture until you have a smooth, cohesive mixture. Pour or scrape into 4 or 6 glasses or small dishes and chill until you want to eat.
