Valentines!!

OneDeterminedChick

Oh my gosh, im back AGAIN
Sorry guys, I know we're only just into January but i've been thinking about Valentines Day and would like to prepare a lovely 3 course meal for my lovely hubby. I feel he's been so good recently and supporting me with WW and eating along with me at home (not so much when he's out but i'll forgive him for that!)

So has anyone any yummy, tasty ideas that don't have too big a dent on the old points for a special meal??:D
 
For mine and my bf 2 year anniversary on new years day i cooked honey mustard pork chops wich where really good and a hot chocolate pudding which was nice too. Or you could always go for that toad in the hole!!! hehe
 
Was thinking of the toad in the hole, it did sound delish!
may well have that with the hot choc pud. did u make it urself??
 
yeah its from a little weightwatcher cook book i got for christmas. its 5 points for each one and i had it with emlea, you kno that lower fat cream. Apparently weightwatcher's do double cream now too. Its realy rich with dark choc so needs some cream so its pretty high in points. There are loads of nice weightwatchers pudding recipes around if there is something in particular you want i could try to find it for you in one of my cookbooks?
 
I put a recipe in the recipe thread (may have to scan back a bit) with pics.. it's a chicken breast stuffed with garlic roulé cheese and wrapped in spinach. Then you make a spinach/yoghurt sauce (got a blender) which goes bright green, looks awesome. It's very yummy, 5-6 points I think. Goes well with cubed potatoes roasted in frylite and herbs/paprika.

I made some chocolate truffles to put in xmas hampers for family but the were a bit gross. The chocolate was too dark and rolling in cocoa power was a mistake :jelous: I think I'll try green & blacks milk next time and instead of rolling them in stuff, dip them in melted chocolate. Om nom nom.

I don't "celebrate" V-day. My anniversary is on the 18th of Feb but I expect something special this year, we haven't done anything for years!
 
ive made truffles before and i dipped them in melted choc and then nutts or chocolate sprinkles, cocoa powder is nasty!!!! my favourite thing is chocolate covered pretzels, honestly i would kill for some they are divine!!!!!

Also sounds delish, will be giving that a whirl too!!!
 
Here is the recipe... the only problem as it was so nice with the cream that me and the bf ate 2 each instead of just one! If i made these again i would use half milk and half dark choc as they where very strong!

hot chocolate puds
