What is everyone thinking for Valentines Dinner?

Going to have a splurge and get pizza in, hopefully won't throw my weight loss off too much. But I'm going to bake him some heart shaped treats and then insist they're his so no dessert

My boyfriend and I don't live in the same time so we're celebrating the weekend before. We're going out to dinner at an Italian place. I'm sure it's going to be hard to be healthy but we got a great discount for a coupon at restaurants.com so we thought we would give it a try. I'm thinking of going with chicken with salad on the side so hopefully staying within my calorie limit. The free rolls are always my downside though,....why do they have to be so darn tasty

Ohhhh, chocolate 4 sure, prawns, salmon, lobster or maybe steak! Sounds great. Skip the champagne and eat more chocolate. Hmmm, maybe go very light on lunch.

I like how you think...I'm sure the hubby will have a decadent red wine...but I want to eat my calories. haha!


Congrats and happy that he made it thru his surgery well Melaniecheeks PLEASE share this recipe...that sounds AMAZING!!!!

We're going to The Keg. I will have the smallest cut of steak and just veggies on the side, no potatoes or rice.

And I'm saving my weekly sweet treat for their yummy creme brulee.

I worked as a cook at The Keg for 5 years! The rice is sooo unhealthy, tons of butter in it! LOL But delicious!

Enjoy! It's still one of my favourite restaurants.....I dont miss having to work there on V-day tho....craziness!

I would love to do fondue but don't know how I'd make that happen in an even-close-to-healthful way.

Vegetarian Times just did an article on healthy fondues in one of their recent issues - maybe you can find it online!

Thinking it will be like any other dinner b/c I'll probably be alone this Valentine's Day....AGAIN! :sad: :brokenheart: Thanks for the reminder! :grumble:

I am a foodie as well. I have made a dish close to the lamb one you are making, but with smoked venison, grilled pears and I boiled down the balsamic to a syrup and drizzled it over the meat and pears, OMG! So good! I did read your recipe but if it is anything like the one I make, you are going to be in heaven.

We do not eat red meat in his house often and even less often will cow be consumed. So I will be getting some all natural grass fed beef steaks, hubby NY strip, me a filet, grilled shrimp, baked sweet potato and fresh steamed green beans with some garlic , crushed red pepper and almonds with a nice spring mix salad. I will have dessert but no idea what that will be until the day I shop. Probably something banana for husband and chocolate covered strawberries for me.
