Celebrating Love and My Three Guys

While I am not a big fan of Valentines' Day - you can read a little bit about my Grinch-like sentiment in this post - , I am always up for celebrating love, especially my three loves: Jake, R, and D.

And a nice meal is usually how I celebrate just about everything! So, here's how we feasted last night...oh, and a nice bottle of wine and a jar full of tulips doesn't hurt either.

To Start
Saffron-Peppercorn Pecorino

Grilled Baguette (regular and gluten-free)

Salads

Shaved Fennel Salad with Dungeness Crab and Fennel Pollen Vinaigrette

Orange-Beet Salad

First Entrée

Roasted Beet-Ricotta Gnocchi with Wilted Beet Greens

Dessert
