Gift ideas: Think outside the box on Valentine’s Day

Published Feb 13, 2009

By now, you probably already know the rules. Whether it's getting that all-important reservation at the fancy restaurant weeks in advance or raiding what's left of Walgreens around Feb. 12, time is a factor. Here are a couple of alternatives to the Valentine's Day box of chocolates/flowers/card combination. Remember, creativity may take time. Don't scrap your idea after the first draft doesn't work.

Romantic dinner for two: Chicken Parmesan

Published Feb 13, 2009

Sure, you've seen it done at the local Italian restaurant all the time, but have you tried recreating it at home?

You can even have her join you in cooking the chicken. If all else fails, you can always call in a pizza and laugh about how you burnt the chicken to a crisp. This recipe serves two people, but if you add two more chicken cutlets, there are enough ingredients to add two more for a double date.
