Date night...at home

So, Dan and I had a fabulous date the other night. The great thing about it....it was in the comfort of our own home. Every now and then, after we put all of the kids to bed, we have a nice, romantic dinner...ALONE! Dinner time in our house is usually pretty hectic and busy, which is why it's nice to sit in the dining room, turn on some jazz, have a cocktail and eat a nice, quiet dinner together. Dan grilled the filets while I prepared the wild rice and vegetables sauteed in garlic, olive oil and shallots. So good! I'm not a big red meat eater, but a good steak on the grill is the best every once in a while.

After dinner, our neighbors came over and shared some wine with us while we sat on the front porch and enjoyed the sounds of summer!
