Table for Two: How to Make a Special Dinner for Two

Try these dinner for two recipes from Leslie Byers Register to create a memorable meal that is easy to whip up, making it perfect for any night of the week.

Menu card and place setting for two

Some of the finest meals I’ve ever had have been in a home. You don’t always have to go out for special events—you can create something memorable in your own place. “Reserve” your dining room or a special nook in your house. Take time to do a handwritten menu, use place cards (just because), and create a pretty centerpiece to add to the celebration. I love serving a meal at home because you can linger around the table—and seconds and refills are close by!

I always forget how quick and easy cooking for two can be. Fewer ingredients require less time and energy, allowing more time to create a special setting for your “at home” reservation. Whether it’s a birthday or anniversary, or if you are a new empty nester, everything tastes better in a pretty atmosphere. Keep the recipes simple but delicious, and take time to add all the extra touches.
