The McDaniel household weekly date night is spaghetti and cheap red wine Friday. So with Valentine's day falling on a Friday, we found no need to brave the crowds, but wanted to do something a little different. So the hubby said he had it 'handled' when I asked about dinner. And did he ever!
Fresh Market was selling pre-packaged meals. This included a dozen pink roses(that are just now in full gorgeous bloom), Caeser salad, asparagus, 2 chateaubriand cuts of steak, and chocolate covered strawberries!
We roasted the asparagus and I seared up the meat with salt and pepper.
Even used our 'fancy china' and had a set table(albeit in front of the tv). And our other valentines(our fur babes), also got some steak.
That Saturday, we attended a lovely Vday party with friends where I made red beans and rice(will NOT make again) as I found it tasted like Mexican refried beans and also some red velvet whoopie pies. I mixed a few recipes but the mix was boxed and there was marshmallow fluff in the filing.
