Serve him up a Father's Day treat he won't soon forget ....

Chef Nikki Shaw: Anyone who knows me knows that I'm constantly in search of great food, fun and adventure! Father's Day is right around the corner. What a great opportunity to give your guy an evening to remember! Serve him a sensual dinner in bed.

Before you get started on this exciting adventure, there are a few preliminary moves you must make. The first one is to occupy the kids. Make a deal with a relative or a neighbor who will let them come over for a couple of hours. Next, break out the sexy satin lingerie. Here comes the fun part: Tantalize his tastebuds ... and everything else will follow!

Begin by sipping on cocktails under the covers. Then meet between the sheets with something new, such as Sizzling BBQ Shrimp Skewers. Now, push those bed trays aside and enjoy an intimate dessert for two (if you know what I mean).

"NIK TIP": Just to add another layer of entertainment, get a "guy movie" to watch while you enjoy dinner in bed together.

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