Last year on Valentine’s Day my hubby and I decided to go to a small sushi restaurant nearby our home. It is not fancy at all and we thought it would be lovely to have a quiet and romantic getaway, just the two of us.
We were very wrong. As you can imagine, there was a very long wait, and finally when we got seated there was a wait again to order. The grownup time was nice, but when mama is hungry and no food is in sight that does not make me happy.
This year, we decided it’s best to enjoy Valentine’s Day in the comfort of our cozy home with our kids with a fun fondue night.
Seriously, give me cheese and wine and I’m a very happy girl. This fondue has a Mexican twist made with a combination of two of my favorite cheeses — asadero and muenster cheese. And because I like spice I added rajas of roasted poblano for a mild kick.
This is very similar to queso fundido (fondue), but served in an electric fondue maker so that the cheese is constantly ooey and gooey to dip a variety of dippers.
It’s a complete meal when served with bite sized roasted fingerling potatoes, Spanish chorizo, bread, and apples.
Dip, eat, repeat.
