An Econo-Friendly Valentine's Day

The average person spends $150 on Valentine's Day. During these tough times, that's not feasible for everyone. So let Susannah Locketti show you how to make the most out of your special night.
Not only is going out to a fancy restaurant on Valentine's night overly crowded, it's EXPENSIVE! Rather than spending a fortune and waiting two hours for a table, have a romantic evening in the comfort of your own home. Making dinner fireside ... No, we're not kidding.

Don't forget about the dessert! You'll never believe how simple this one is...

MmmmmmmMmmmmmmGOOD!!! I love the idea of cooking over an open fire; Valentine’s should have some primal ambiance! I also never would have thought of adding the asparagus to the pre-aldente pasta - a logical and convenient time-saver.
The sundae dessert was a neat surprise, too: quick, no doubt delicious, and looked like a million bucks. Sue, your hubby is a lucky man! Thanks for more great ideas :)
You two are so cute!

Those look yummy!! I think we’re going to Denny’s. It’s been a stressful 2 weeks and I told my husband I just want to relax. My friend told me kids eat free from 4-6 at denny’s on Sat. and that’s what they’re doing so we’re gonna tag along. Hey, it probably won’t be crowded.
