A great Valentine's date!


There are few better ways to celebrate Valentine's Day (week) than with close girlfriends, and I did just that last night at our weekly dinner. Forget the Hallmark cards, heart-shaped boxes of empty calories, and waiting for the florist's delivery truck...

Give me instead wild Atlantic salmon with a simple lemon dill sauce, arugula, radish and red onion salad, and quinoa laced with spinach and topped with parmesan and bread crumbs. Ahhh, my sweethearts.

But the winner of the evening, drum roll, please -- parmesan-stuffed dates, wrapped in hickory smoked bacon. Yes, bacon. Who needs chocolate hearts?

It was a great Valentine's date. And a perfect kick off to a chilly February week in Memphis.
