Each year myself and a group of friends organize and put on what we call the Sweetheart Dinner for our church. We pretty much take over the church and turn it into a restaurant for the evening. This year we even had a harpist providing the music for the evening! We charge $28 per couple and that includes: appetizer, soup, salad, choice of dinner, dessert, and this year a 5x7 picture of you and your sweetheart! If we have money left over we use it to buy something new for the church kitchen and if we don't....well then it is a nice ministry allowing people in our congregation who couldn't normally do an evening out have a special night! This year I was mainly in charge of choosing the menu and then along with another friend cook the whole meal!! We served 60 people this year so the stress level was HIGH as I have never in my life done such a thing!!! We served Italian "Nachos", Italian Wedding Soup, then a choice of Pasta Primivera or Chicken Pomodoro with Roasted Parmesean Potatoes and sauteed green beans and for dessert cheesecake (we cheated and bought this!) with a coice of topping!! Here is how the chicken and Italian Nachos turned out!
