Make Every Meal Romantic

 

Somehow, food and romance seem to go hand in hand. I haven't quite

figured it out myself yet, but there is no denying the romantic

impulses one receives over a deliciously, quiet romantic dinner for

two. For some people not as romantically or culinary inclined as

myself, doing something like this day to day may seem to be quite

the formidable task. With a little practice, and a few great tips

outlined below, you'll find it much easier than you think! You may

not understand why, but after following these tips for even a few

days, you will start to see a nice and very welcome romantic

lifestyle change! Good luck and bon appétit!

 

1. Turn off all outside disturbances such as the TV, phone, etc. The

only sounds you should hear are that of soft, romantic music playing

in the background.

 

 

2. Provide candlelight and/or dim lighting.

 

 

3. If you have children, on occasion, have them eat at an earlier

time. Then set them up with a video in another room or with a baby-

sitter for an hour or so. Alternatively, you can arrange for them to

eat at a friend's house.

 

 

4. Listen to your partner. Really hear what they have to say and

comment on it.

 

 

5. Make/serve something with well-known aphrodisiac qualities.

 

 

6. Keep your presentation simple yet elegant. Prepare your table

setting like you see in restaurants. Use fabric napkins,

wineglasses, a tablecloth, etc.

 

 

7. If you're kitchen is in viewing area from the dining area, make

sure you've cleaned up before eating. Cleaning as you're cooking is

very effective, plus it cuts down on scrubbing afterward!

 

 

8. Don't bring up negative topics. This is a time to share how your

day went and really talk to each other. Seriously, how often to you

get to sit down with your partner for any length of time? Don't

spoil it by bringing up small petty issues!

 

 

9. Always serve some sort of dessert. Even if it's just a cup of

fruit drizzled with a dessert sauce or yogurt. Indulgences, even

healthy ones, are a splendid romantic treat.

 

 

10. If possible, serve at least a 3 to 4 course meal. (Appetizer,

salad or soup, main course and dessert.)
