1 mixed pkt baby sweet-corn and sugar snap peas
1/2 red pepper sliced
1/2 green pepper sliced
1 tbl spn tomato puree

Bottle cheap tomato ketchup
Heat a wok with a little olive oil, brown the meat and onions together, when this is ready add the other ingredients (except ketchup) when cooked turn heat up to full, keep stiring and then add a generous dollop of ketchup keep stirring to coat the other ingredients then turnout onto a bed of rice, also nice with fresh baked bread ( Aldi, their ketchup works well too) and crispy fries with a side salad.
Is good with either cabernet sauvignon or a nice Chardonnay
Serves 4 , Fresh fruit salad with Cornish ice cream is good to follow ( I like to drizzle some honey liqueur over the ice cream or serve with orange Muscat)

My hubby is a keen fisherman and one day brought home a very large trout! He handed it to me with a pleading look in his eye and asked if I could cook it for him. What’s the big deal I hear you ask? Well I’m a vegetarian with a fish phobia!! I managed to cook it and in his words it was ‘superb’. Now that’s love for you!!
We are true sea food lovers, last year I blew the budget on Langestines, I steemed them in a lemony stock for about five minutes, Oysters raw of course and Lobster which I ‘Thermadored’. I made some of my own yummy garlic bread. We had Strawberries that I dipped in different types chocolate for pud.
The most romantic meal probably has been a breakfast. Toast layered with a little bit of streaky bacon, then asparagus, followed by a boiled egg with the yolk still runny. When the egg is slit, the yolk runs down the stack onto the toast… really yummy, looks fab, and it also has the special asparagas to top it off!!!
Strawberries dipped in chocolate accompanied by champagne. Cant beat it.
A giant heart shaped cookie with “I Love You” iced onto it in red, served with a bottle of Pinto Grigio!
The most romantic meal I have cooked was my husband’s favourite – rump steak with chips, onion rings and an egg. It has to be served with a bottle of red wine of course.
i don’t cook usually but i made an attempt at a pasta dish and he told me it was wonderful – which was romantic as it was really bland!!
My most romantic meal was the one we didn’t eat – we just enjoyed each other in bed – who needs food

I make my husband tuna sandwiches every day, but on Valentine’s day, I dye the tuna pink and cut the sandwiches with a heart shaped cutter!
Liver and bacon with mash and thick, thick onion gravy. It’s so cheap to make and is really warming this time of year. We eat it by candlelight with a bottle of chianti and big grins.
Steak and chips with king prawns because it’s my husbands favourite followed by baileys creme brulee!
Spicy meat balls!!
Cajun chicken – my husband wolfed it down. Quite easy to prepare too. Chicken breasts cut in pieces, sweet potato (cubed), onions, peppers – green and red (for colour), drizzle of olive oil over it, then sprinkle cajun chicken satchet over the lot. Put in the oven, gas mark 6 for 40mins to an hour. The aroma from the kitchen, not to talk of the heavenly taste. I must make it for him again.

Serve to one another!!!
