Looking for a romantic?
My husband will be home in 3 months after doing a 15 month deployment in Iraq. The day he gets home his family will be here so Im cooking all his favorites finger type foods pizza, chicken wings etc. But the 2nd his family is taking our son and going out for the day and keeping him overnight at the hotel with them. I need some really good ideas for romantic dinner, dessert and recipes... my husband likes chicken, steak and beef.. any help would be greatly appreciated

Serve that wonderful man the most delicious thick juicy steak you can find. Saute' some onions and mushroons to top the steak, make some huge baked potatoes and slather them with butter and sour cream, cook some corn on the cob and make up a big green salad with his favorite dressing. The all American meal, I just can't think of anything more fitting.
T-BONE STEAK AND WILD MUSHROOM MEDLEY
4 (14 oz.) T-Bone steaks
2 oz. each assorted mushrooms
2 oz. butter
1 tbsp. parsley, chopped
4 oz. heavy cream
4 oz. oil
4 oz. brandy
Salt and pepper to taste
Worcestershire sauce as needed
Dijon mustard as needed
NOTE: Use any different mushrooms that are in season such as: Chantrelles, Shitake, Champinons, Oyster, Enochi, Italian Peces, and Morelles. Have about 6 ounces of mushrooms for each steak.
Season each steak with salt, pepper, and brush them with Dijon mustard. Either in a skillet or on a broiler cook steaks to your liking.
In another pan add the butter and saute the mushrooms. Add parsley, brandy, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook approximately 3 minutes until mushrooms are tender. Add cream and reduce for 3 more minutes over high heat. Serve sauce on side or pour over steaks. Best if served with baked or broasted potato. Serves: 4. (Prep and Cooking Time: 45 minutes)
