There’s nothing like sitting outside on a beautiful evening, dining on a simple, yet delicious dinner!! Even better when you share it with someone you love!

My husband had been out of town for a few days, arriving home right around dinner time, it was a beautiful day, so I figured we’d sit outside to eat. Sounds like a good plan right?  But, isn’t there a saying about the best plans? Something like the “best laid plans don’t always work out?”

Dinner was going to be a simple, yet delicious Grilled Skirt Steak Salad with a homemade Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing.

Grilled Skirt Steak w/Creamy Blue Cheese DressingWhile the skirt steak was marinating in Chaka’s MMM Sauce,  I made up a batch of my Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing. I posted the recipe here, but it’s also on the bottom of this post. I added  a little extra blue cheese this time. It was so rich and creamy and delicious!  Meat marinating, dressing chilling in the ‘fridge. Time for the veggies. I headed out to my little garden and picked some fresh tomatoes and cucumber, perfect with some mixed greens and creamy avocado. The only thing left were the croutons, which I had in the pantry. Once you make homemade croutons, you’ll never buy them again.

Back to my plan……..

Nothing fancy, just a little table for two outdoors.

……we realized it was the top of the 10th inning and we had to watch our Giants. (excuse the iPhone pic) Sadly, the Giants lost, but the company and the salad was delicious!!

Oh the best laid plans…………

    Looks like the perfect meal to me. I’ve never made blue cheese dressing but feel like it looks really good and I should try it!

Pretty in pink! As soon as I unpacked my Valentine’s box, I knew I wanted to set a table using the small heart plates. I’ve had them for a year or two, and used them for appetizers and dessert, but never set them as a small salad plate. I searched through all my “pink” tableware and quickly realized that all pinks are not the same. I had variations of “pink” pink, “blush” pink, and “lavender” pink. It wasn’t working until I pulled it all together with the flowers. Your tip for the day is to mix and match, use what you have, and if it doesn’t work, go buy yourself some fresh flowers. #dishhoarderproblems

This White Chocolate Mocha was delicious! In fact, it was as good or better than I could have gotten at a coffee shop (and I didn’t have to leave the house). What’s your favorite coffee shop drink?

White Chocolate Sauce
•3-4 TBSP white chocolate chips
•1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
•½ cup low-fat (2%)milk
. . . . . . .
•Using a milk frother, add low-fat milk and condensed milk. Heat until hot and frothy.
•If you don’t have a frother, combine milk and condensed milk in a small saucepan. Heat slowly until hot, but not boiling. Stir regularly to prevent scorching.
•Add chocolate chips to hot milk, stir until melted and well combined.

White Chocolate Mocha
•Into a favorite mug, pour in a shot of espresso. Add a second shot if you prefer it stronger.
•Add (hot) White Chocolate Sauce to fill cup.
•Top with whipped cream (and sprinkles).

Sometimes a simple charcuterie board and a glass of bubbly (sparkly cider or champagne) is the perfect dinner! Fill your charcuterie board with your favorite meats, cheeses, veggies, nuts, breads or crackers, and few sweets and enjoy a quiet Valentines at home with those you love!
