Speaking of cheesecake! Someone just posted an easy recipe in another thread, here: http://recipe-board.kraftfoods.com/topic/Desserts-Baking/Kool-Aid-Cheesecake/1800002200

Another good wine is Principato Rosato. Its a light, slightly sweet blush that goes well with chicken. A girlfriend of mine first had it at Olive Garden and loved it, and has since bought it several times. Its very yummy!

Congratulations on the first year marker!
Sounds like your menu is shaping up nicely (not a surprise with the helpful posters here!)
Any ideas on what sorts of desserts you want?

I made fondue for my husband and I since our first date was a fondue resturant. Now we have fondue for every anniversary. We love it.

How about a simple baked pasta.
Easy Baked Veggie Pasta
2 cups cooked, drained corkskrew noodles (or whatever noodle you prefer)
Pasta sauce of your choice
1 box frozen spinach, thawed
1 box frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1 jar roasted red peppers, drained
1 cup shredded mozzerella cheese
1 cup shredded parmasean cheese
Mix 1st 5 ingredients together, pour into a casserole dish that you have oiled lightly with olive oil. Top with cheeses and bake at 350 for about 30 - 40 minutes until bubbly and browned on top.
You can even prepare this ahead of time and then pop into the oven to reheat while you have a first course of salad and a nice glass of wine. Serve it with some garlic bread.

It's been a long time since our first anniversary, too, but I remember eating a bit of wedding cake we had saved and frozen. Anniversary dinners should be about the two of you. Cook something you both enjoy and enjoy yourselves and the evening.

Can you make either something on your menu from your wedding? Or maybe even your first date?

My husband and I went out to eat for our first anniversary. We had surf and turf, came home and then ate the top of our wedding cake for dessert. Then at about 1AM, as I was 8 months pregnant, I promptly threw it all back up. About $50 worth, literally down the toilet.
If you are planning to cook, I think it matters less that the food is fancy and more that it tastes great. They always say that you should never make something for the first time that you plan to serve for a special occasion, but instead make something that you are familiar with and can do well. If there is a meal that you have prepared that he really likes, make it again and make it great. In fact, even simpler would be a romantic picnic--sandwiches and fruit (you can feed him strawberries and cool whip in your lap!) along with some champagne on a blanket out in the yard or in the park on a beautiful evening. Then you are more relaxed and able to enjoy yourself and your husband.
Make sure to let us know what you decide on and how your anniversary goes. Good luck!

His favorite is lasagna!! I do not cook!! Not lasagna I don't!!, My problem is that I'm always searching for new recipes in this site so I could impress him with something different, and he kinda likes it all, but we are vegetarian so I'm always making twists to the recipes. Now he is on a special diet because I've been feeding him "good stuff", so I want and need to make something extra special so he doesn't break his diet!!
