Date Night In

I don't really believe in New Year's Resolutions. Probably because I can never seem to keep them! I always make really absurd goals and then try really hard for a month and then feel terrible when I fail two months later! So I figure I will avoid feeling terrible if I just don't make them! There, now that I have confessed, here is our "plan for the new year", totally different!! :)

Jeff and I have started Date Night In. Every Saturday night (after the munchkin is asleep) we will pick a dinner recipe and cook together. We are trying to choose things we wouldn't normally make during the week and maybe out of our comfort zone. It is our way of not eating out as much and spending some quality time together.

Week One- Venetian Shrimp and Scallops and Roasted green bean bundles with prosciutto

It was delicious, the only down side was the scallops were really expensive! Week Two- Salmon Cakes with Lemon Caper Sauce, green beans and chipotle sweet potato fries

Fantastic!! Leftovers, too!

We are really enjoying our time together and the food has been delicious so far. Hopefully this will be something we can stick too!
