No moolah to spare this V-day? Want to stay in but still enjoy some much needed romance?
Then try these time-saving but definitely effective romantic dinner tips!
1. Find a fun pasta recipe- with either colored or shaped ones (as long as it is different).
2. Find a quick interactive dessert- petit fours, sandwich cookies, fortune cookies, strawberries.
3. Romance your beverage- do a mock cocktail or add food coloring to your clear drink. Adding strawberries is also a good idea.
4. Use sheer ribbons- to tie napkins or a flower.
5. Make it bubbly- add 1 can of ginger ale, 7-up or club soda to a 1/2 glass of any fruit juice.
6. Keep it clean and sexy - find any pink or red napkins to add a touch of romance.
7. Think mobile- food trays are a great way to transport your "private" feast to the budoir!

What a great find for $9.00 and the menu is something my Hubs would love...as dessert, I would add a dish of exotic fruits to share...
