Do you have a reservation made
for Valentine’s Day dinner? If not, it’s probably too late! According to an
Open Table survey, over 50% of people plan to dine out on the 14th.
But, I’ve got a better idea, stay home and cook for your Valentine!
My birthday happens to be on
February 14th as well. However, my husband and I have not once been
out to a restaurant on this date.
Waiting to be seated past a reservation time, elbowing a stranger next
to me and having to shout to be heard is not my idea of romantic, or fun.
Furthermore, many restaurants will be
offering a prix fixe menu at a premium price. In fact, the average couple will
spend around $150!
This year, why not stay home and prepare a meal
customized to your taste? A nice steak with a couple of sides may be just the
ticket. Or really step it up a notch and go for a combo. Whatever your sweetie
likes: Surf and turf, steak and chicken. Keep them in mind when preparing your
menu and you can't go wrong.
Feed someone you love something great because you love
them! And don't forget the sweets!
Do you have special plans for
Valentine’s Day? Are you staying in or going out?
