Valentine's Day Dinner

We kicked Nils out of the house for the night and took a special trip to the Fresh Market for some free-range beef, salad greens, and herbed yeast rolls. We've been so busy lately that it was nice just to go shopping and make dinner together.

The final product: steaks cooked on the Big Green Egg, mashed potatoes, salad, and those yummy yeast rolls!


For dessert I made Homemade Chocolate Pudding, a Taste of Home recipe that I've been meaning to try for a loooong time. It was good with the strawberries and whipped cream on top, but since it was a lower-fat recipe it wasn't very good the next day.




It made for a pretty picture, though! And we enjoyed the time spent together. Hope you had a nice Valentine's Day!

Mmmmmmmmm...looks good.

Stephen is taking his first business trip next week and Steve and I are looking forward to a special dinner out for Steve's birthday.

It so nice to be kid-free once in awhile!

Glad you and Mike had a good night "off".
