What kinds of food should I make for Valentine's Day?
Gloria McDonald: If you are cooking Valentine's Day dinner at home, you can obviously do
the standard things where you are going to have a chocolate cake and
things that are -- or chocolate of some type for dessert and every food
magazine will have some type of new Valentine's dinner menu in their
magazine and maybe you want to try something new; but you can do other
things too. Let us say your partner's favorite dinner is macaroni and
cheese. Well, do macaroni and cheese with red food coloring in it or
something like that or just cook what is your partner's favorite meal and
have it be a surprise or try something totally different, an entirely new
menu that does not necessarily have anything to do with Valentine's Day.
You can make it as elegant as you want or as simple as you want and the
thing is really about what is going to make you and your partner happy.
That is the most important thing.
