Date Night

It looks like challenger DietDiva took us up on our go green mini challenge, and made one for herself: turn her monthly date night into an equally romantic evening alone while doing it at home.

My husband and I try to make time for at least one date night a month. With two small children at home we really enjoy an evening to ourselves. Typically we spend this night out having dinner at an expensive restaurant and watching a movie at the theater. This month, during the cook at home challenge we decided to try a date night in with a meal we worked on together. We made Bacon Wrapped Tilapia (a recipe from I Can’t Believe It’s Not Fattening) with green steamed broccoli on the side. It was delicious and we really enjoyed working in the kitchen together. Plus we saved a handful of green by enjoying our homecooked meal and trading in our movie out for a Netfilx on the couch. The meal was easy & elegant, something I look forward to making for dinner guests in the future!
