Chef Nikki Shaw: Anyone who knows me knows that I'm constantly in search of great food, fun, and adventure! I have made toasting a mandatory tradition and it has proven to be a great way to get the party started, if you know what I mean. Plant a sexy seed early in the evening to let him know that the upcoming harvest will be plentiful.

When it comes to "tantalizing," my motto is "the rules are ... there are no rules." However, in order to pull this off successfully, there are a few guidelines. Remember, men are visual and physical beings. Speak their language and keep it HOT! For this exciting adventure, seduction starts with sensual words and sexy lingerie. You're only limited by your imagination. Trust me, the glasses won't be the only thing to rise.

"NIK TIP": First, have a plan: think before you speak. Next, keep it short and sweet. Revisit a fond memory or use a relevant quote. Here's where you can really have fun and put your own tantalizing twist on it. Have confidence and good eye contact. Don't forget, the eyes are the windows to the soul.

In this bitter economy, I'll show you how to make life sweet right at home.
