 Mood Makes the Difference – Set the Table!

 At least setting a romantic table is easy in our house.  We have candles everywhere – and candles are still the most romantic setting.  With the right accessories and a little romantic music – you’re on the way to a special evening.

 Great Dinner Ideas – Quick and Straight to the Heart

For  a Monday night celebration, I believe in planning ahead.  This is one day that starting something in the slow cooker can really make a difference.  If you want just a simple dinner, a bowl of steaming Minestrone soup with yummy warm Beer Bread can make all the difference.  The soup you can do that day or the day before.  If you crave something more substantial-  then Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore could be just the way to warm your honey’s heart. A little Avocado and Orange salad makes the meal complete

Just getting home late – you can always do Chicken with Mango Peach Salsa for a little extra fire!

Chocolate, Chocolate everywhere!

Chocolate is the food of love.  With TSG Breathtaking Deep Chocolate Brownies, you can plan ahead and still have a decadent evening treat.  Try the Blackberry Cabernet you’ve got the time and really want to WOW him, then our Trifle makes an incredible impact.

The rest is up to you!  How are you going to celebrate?
