It's Friday, and we still haven't nailed down this year's menu, so I'll share our delicious menu from Valentine's Day 2010. I loved every single dish.
Apricot-glazed chicken

Wedge Salad with homemade 4-cheese dressing
Italian Sausage Rice Pilaf
adapted from this recipe by emeril
Homemade vanilla bean ice cream and Dorie Greenspan's my best chocolate chip cookies
I think the biggest winner of the night for me was the rice pilaf. Holy cow that sausage kicked it up and I don't think I've ever enjoyed rice so much as I did that night. I was happy to relax a bit on the dessert. Cookies were so simple and I think it made the night 10x more enjoyable than making a more involved recipe. (Though this year, I might do a layer cake...who knows.)
Chef Brian from work, gave me his recipe for a favorite dressing he used to make at his restaurants and holy cow it was good. It was hilarious to see him change the yield from like 4 gallons to whatever it was. We still had a ton leftover and used it as a veggie dip. The apricot-glazed chicken was super moist and that glaze was delicious.
I'm not sure what we'll do this year. I'm thinking either a fish dish or some sort of Italian dish. I'm open for any suggestions. What are you eating for Valentine's this year? And do you like to go out or dine in?
