I am counting down the days until Valentine's Day! It has been tradition since we have been married that Shannon always cooks a fabulous dinner for us on Valentine's Day. I look forward to it all year - seriously! Shannon helps me in the kitchen a lot but he rarely does an entire meal all on his own - where he thought it up, planned it out, and got all of the ingredients etc. -which makes this an extra special treat. He keeps his menu top secret and shuts himself in the kitchen until the big reveal! He is a great cook - and it's always wonderful. Now if I can only get him to do it more than once a year...but hey, I'll take what I can get! These are a few pictures from previous years.
2007
I contributed a dessert one year- that's about all I've ever done. This is a Baked Alaska.
2005 -The roasted asparagus with balsamic vinegar and fresh parmesean was quite a winner!
2004 -This was our first Valentine's Day and he made mandrain chicken with rice and a yummy salad with fruity drinks. He set the bar pretty high at the start.

Wow, those are some pretty impressive meals there! I don't know where you two learned to cook, but you should open a restaurant or something! That's sweet that he also gets flowers on top of everything else.
wow. what a sweet honey. Those are pretty elegant meals
Great Tradition. Shannon can you hint to my husband that cooking is great and so are flowers?
Have a Happy Valentines Day.
Brian won't cook anything unless (a) you can BBQ it or (b) it has 3 ingredients or less. Oh well. At least he has other good qualities, right?
You are very lucky!
what a sweetheart!
