Balsamic & Bourbon Filet Mignon

Burning Love Molten Chocolate Cakes
"Chocolate lovers, this one is for YOU! I make this for my husband on very special occasions such as Valentine's Day. It is wonderful but so easy. We are having guests this weekend and we are going out to a very exclusive restaurant here in Shreveport, but we will be coming home for this dessert." - Debbie
Crab Piggyback Lobster Tails
"The sweetness of the lump crabmeat and lobster shine brightly. It's so delicious with a beautiful presentation. This lobster and crab dinner could be on the menu at a white tablecloth restaurant! This is definitely a special meal - perfect for your sweetheart." - The Kitchen Crew
Dark Chocolate Souffle Cheesecake
"A light and fluffy souffle like dark chocolate cheesecake that is super easy to make!" - Kevin
Limoncello Creme Cake
"Lemon heaven for lemon lovers. That's how we'd describe this cool and creamy limoncello cake. Each bite of this cake is bursting with lemon. This is fancy restaurant quality and isn't a dessert that can just be thrown together. There are a lot of steps but it's well worth the effort." - The Kitchen Crew
Lemony Asparagus Risotto
"A light, bright risotto with citrus notes that perfectly compliment fresh asparagus. You get refreshing, cozy, and nutritious all in one bowl." - Kiersten
Chocolate Truffle Cake

Steak de Burgo for Two
