Planning Our Anniversary Meal 2021
-
Each year I usually make some extravagant meal that is way more involved than our normal table-fare. Last year I made a spinach/ricotta/stoneground mustard stuffed chicken thigh roll with a roasted tomato/garlic/ricotta toast and a cauliflower puree with a caramel and yogurt pear desert.
This year I’m going French and starting the meal with a Gorgonzola Souffle, Pork Chops with a red wine shallot sauce, bacon & almond green beans, rosemary fondant potatoes and I’ll be dutchoven cooking desert in the evening down at our fire pit, It will either be cinnamon rolls or a rhubarb-tart/cobbler for a late evening with my wife, toddler son, some wine and hopefully a star filled sky.
Stay tuned - I should have a post in the “what did everyone cook today” Thursday evening or Friday morning. Excited about this one!

I got hungry just reading that.

Matt you should go with an apple crisp for dessert since its fall now. Not sure how you are going to seasoning your pork chop but Pork Roast and Chop Rub is an excellent choice. My wife gets a steak dinner for her birthday every year with all the fixings, which I guess maybe isn’t all that special considering how much steak we eat. Her birthday and our Anniversary are only 3 days apart so I usually just try to roll everything together into one big event.

HerbcoFood yeah it is fun building out a meal around a theme and exploring the different variations of commonly used ingredients.

gus4416 Don’t feel bad, if you are doing what she/you both want to do. No shame there.

RafterW Good luck, it sounds like a tasty meal. You will be busy cooking all day but those items and flavors sound great. Don’t forget to enjoy the time together, it goes quickly.
