An

ideal

date night. Making food together is seriously a bonding experience. The shopping for the food together, the cutting, the cooking….it’s a project made together through team work.

My husband and I went to Whole Foods. We browsed the meat department and found their sausages were on sale.

Buy a meat that is on sale, it’s a surprise and a deal what it might be. This week the meat sale at Whole Foods is “Buck-A-Burger One-Day sale” May 18th only! ( regional)

No antibiotics, ever.
No added hormones.
No artificial flavors, preservatives, or colors.

We made a recipe my Aunt created: Greek Orzo!

The ingredients are as followed:
– box of Orzo
– can of black olives
– 1/4 cup of capers
– can of diced tomatoes
– one yellow onion
– one cup of fresh cut parsley
– half a lemon
– 2 tablespoons of cooking wine

Directions:
1) cook Orzo
2) cut vegetables
3) pour in the rest of ingredients and simmer for 7 minutes

We also bought some wine and enjoyed one another in the comforts of our home!

The night consisted of shopping for food, preparing food, drinking wine, good conversation ( distraction free), tip free by candlelight. Following the romantic evening was an art project we did together.
