Here's the deal - unless you're going out to celebrate Valentine's Day a few days early, I'll always tell you to skip the Valentine's Day pre-fixe menus! It's a wild night in the industry and you guys are about to be armed with an incredible assortment of ideas for a Valentine's Day Menu at home.

Menu #1 - if you guys are surf and turf lovers...

T-Bone Steak for 2, Lobster Risotto, Avocado Citrus and Fennel Salad, and a Rosé Spritz

  1. Most of your recipes are for families. This is a good thing BUT many singles and couples follow as well.
    When I see a 9 x 13 pan I know I need to cut it in 3rds or 4ths. I’ve see recipes that do this for you.
    Is this something you could incorporate in yours? Even 1/2?

    1. Hi Jan,
      I wonder if you ever thought to make the entire recipe and instead of cooking it all , first divide it into 2 dishes, one to cook that day and another into maybe a disposable foil baking container you Can freeze to make later? I realize that you could not do this on every dish without taking all your freezer space but maybe on just the extra large recipes.
