Does anyone have any ideas for a nice
.Valentine .Dinner? I'm broke and i'd
really like to be able to make a nice meal
for my hubby tonight...Especially since he
has to work both jobs today. I got him a
card from me, and one from the baby.

How about something italian? Chicken parm
is pretty easy. Then just light some
candles and maybe have some wine and a
nice salad.
Oh, and a yummy dessert! I would say
chocolate dipped strawberries but I bet
strawberries are pretty expensive right
now and maybe even hard to find because of
v-day.

Grilled steak (or chicken or salmon) with
herbed butter
potatoes au gratin or rice pilaf
green beans almondine or fruit salad
red velvet cake
some form of dinner roll
a little wine
and you can serve baked pita chips with
some kind of dip as an appetizer

Well .Jess, I found strawberries...But
they were over-priced and mostly
white....Definately not edible. I hope
you can find some good ones! Soooooo i'm
going to make a chicken dinner sort of
thing with a rice dish and a nice salad.
Then i'm making some weird dessert that
hopefully turns out delicious!

of those

Mandi, you *have* to try them sometime.
My parents used to own a bakery and they
made them for weddings, I would always
steal as many as I could get away with.
Sooooo good...

Thanks .Bridget...Make my mouth water even
more. My mom is always buying
strawberries (she always finds good ones
too...On sale even) so i'll have to swipe
a few and try 'em out. Mmmmm I really
want one now.
