People go out to eat all the time. So really – how special is it for Valentine’s Day when the restaurants are packed and prices are inflated. In this month’s newsletter I’m going to give you four menus to try at home.

I tend to think of Italian and French as “romantic” meals. So first I’ll share a menu for each cuisine. Then, for those that really love restaurants, I’ll give you menus using Copy Cat Recipes from some of your favorite meals.

As always, I would encourage you to make these recipes your own. Substitute to lower calories or make healthier: switch olive oil for butter, switch meats, take out meats. Play with them. Cooking is fun!

I’ll divide the menus up over the next couple posts.
