Date night menu

Last nights dinner (Date night) both of us love garlic so you will see it just about every dish. This took me about 45 min in total, but that may be because I make small portions since there are only 2 of us. None the less a good dinner of good food and a good date night.

Quick fry chard
Wash and chop chard. Add some chicken broth to a fry pan along with some chopped garlic. Throw in the chard and cook till leaves turn bright green take off heat and squeeze lemon over it.
Buttery parsley potatoes.
Quarter red potatoes (lower glycemic index then russets) boil till tender. Drain and then add in a few pats of butter and some cut parsley. Swirl to coat evenly
Roasted Asparagus
Snap off the bottoms of asparagus and lay into a roasting pan. Add some cloves of garlic and a little olive oil to coat. Roast in an oven at 400 till done.
Broiled NY steak with mushroom sauce
Salt and pepper and herbs de provance both sides of the stake put in pan that can stand high heat and then put in oven under broiler. How long it stays there depends on how done you like your beef.
On stove top cook butter and garlic and sauté carmine mushrooms in it. add a flour making a roux. Add in chicken broth to get a good consistence. When serving pour sauce over steak.
