A couple of ways to cheat on food prep if you’re really rushed? Hit the salad bar for pre-chopped and sliced veg, or consider grabbing sides out of the cooler at somewhere like Super Suppers. They are not my usual cup of tea, but smaller families I know and people who hate to cook swear by them. The salad bar is great for shredded carrots, diced green onion, sliced red onions, bell peppers, and so on. Imagine the saved prep time! Of course, it hits your wallet, but it also employs someone so it all depends on your priorities.

I’m with Molly. And ditto for the scallop recipe. And Kim Crawford Sauv. Blanc. That’s pretty much all of my favorite things rolled into one evening.

I am totally staying in on Valentines day. We are making dinner at home (might try your scallop recipe) and then heading to a little dive bar for a celebratory drink. We’ve been taking bets on if it will be packed or deserted :)

Seriously doubtful that I will be taking out the Valentine on the specific day, for most of the reasons you listed.
Very good suggestions and thanks for the menu ideas.
I’d add that if you’re parents, find a way to ditch your kids for at least a couple hours!
