Valentine's Day Supper

Two of our best friends wanted to get together the Saturday before Valentine's Day and...well...the hubs? Not exactly the most romantic guy in the world. So, I decided to dub this our Valentine's Day and make a nice supper. I am breaking this meal into three posts as I don't want to overload you.

On the menu: 

Cheese & Crackers

Green Bean Bundles

Roasted Beef Tenderloin

Baked Cheesy Potatoes

Salad

Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

I can't take credit for the divine green bean bundles. Miss Kara (check out her hi-larious blog) made these for a get-together and I was sold.

Here's what you'll need:

• Green Beans (this will depend on how many guests you have, 4-6 green beans per bundle, 3-4 bundles per guest)
• Bacon, uncooked and slices cut in half
• Sauce:
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 stick butter
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/2-1 teaspoon of garlic powder (depending on how much you like garlic)
• Combine sauce ingredients in saucepan on medium heat until smooth
  

Wash your green beans

Dry beans and remove any stems

Wrap beans (4-6 at a time) with your half strip of bacon

Drizzle bundles with sauce

Bake at 375* for 45 minutes
Eat until your stomach hurts.

So...I can't blame not having a picture of them after they bake on the wine, that is merely because I couldn't stop eating them long enough to clean my fingers and take a picture. Whoops. I guess I'll have to make them again soon...eh? :)

Next up: The main course!
