Big Jim's Valentine Menu

Big Jim's Valentine Menu

Here is my suggested menu for Valentine's Day Dinner. Please note some people have alergies, and it is a good idea to check before you prepare.

This is the suggested menu in my article "A Valentine Night To Remember" [I'm sorry I am not allowed to give you a link to this article here, please see resource box]

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries- great as an aphrodisiac- pre meal snack.
Any great meal starts with an appetizer.
An awesome drink to set the mood.
My special recipe, this salad is very tasty.
A simple salmon dinner for the main course, not that hard, you can do it guys.
The most simple cheesecake recipe I could find, outside of boxed ones. Guys, she will appreciate the effort in the homemade one.
After dinner drinks. I gave you two choices, but I recommend the coffee, you want to stay awake.

* I am sorry, I tried to use anchor links in the list above, so you could go straight to that portion of the menu, but, it got kicked back. You will have to scroll.
