The Best Valentine's Day Gift Ever.....

Attention All Men!

The Best Valentine's Day Gift ever is a meal prepared with love.

Dress a romantic table with flowers, light some candles and dim the lights! Keep the meal simple and prepare things that won't tie you to the stove!

Some foods are romantic by nature like oysters and shrimp cocktail, but a smooth, velvety squash soup will do just fine. Lamb rack, Cornish hen, or fresh fish are all good entrees – keep the portions small and the veggies light and crispy. A chocolate and fruit dessert can never go wrong; instead of strawberries try mangoes, bananas, and pears! Buy a better than normal bottle of wine.

PS.   And please… don’t leave the dirty dishes!
