Yummy Valentine’s Dinner

 

My husband is a marvelous cook and I have to admit that I am spoiled rotten.  Our dinner last night was no exception so after the fun time with the table scape I thought I would show it in use.

Soup was a roasted beet and butternut squash combo pureed with fat-free chicken broth.  Very healthy and especially tasty.

I love the color combos!

 

Then it was on to the main course.  Grilled lobster tail with seasoned butter, filet mignon, sautéed green beans and brussels sprouts, roasted red peppers and beets cut into heart shapes, and a blueberry-lavender rice.

It was delicious!! And I love my hearts..Thanks Gar!

 

En vous souhaitant une bonne fête la Saint-Valentin!

Merci Saint-Valentin!!!

 I am a firm believer in Celebrating the Day and tablescaping is just a natural extension of that.  So I guess it comes as no surprise that I think Valentine's Day is one of the best.

Made the small hurricanes from a couple of candlesticks and votive holders from the Dollar Tree. They are just the right size for clustering.

Half of the fun is searching through the house to find pieces that will fit in with the theme that is rambling around in my head.  I am pretty sure that this is the first time these heart cookie cutters have ever seen the light of day.  Knew they would come in handy someday.

The camellias are still blooming and add just the right  splash of color.

Think I tried three different table clothes before deciding on this one but I love the simple detail and the white on white design.


 

Tulle chair ribbons with a couple of extra berry napkin rings.

Sante!!
