Since my husband is the one who is always thinking about cooking and always the first to post the question, “What would you like for dinner?” I like to try to make him a really special dish every now and then.
With Valentine’s Day coming I’ve been searching for a great meal to make. The husband doesn’t get to eat seafood as much as he’d like because I’m not a fan of it.
