It’s a family tradition of ours to have red dinner for the whole family on Valentines Day. My mom started the tradition and it was she who commandeered our (loosely interpreted) red dinner last night. Shane and I have always found the more traditional Valentine’s expressions a bit embarrassing, so red dinner works just fine for us.

On the menu: roasted beets with goat cheese, beet greens, roasted red potatoes and a radicchio and red pepper salad (with creme fraiche in the dressing, yum!). There was also a large piece of meat which was not particularly red and a lovely white wine with a doubly-lovely illustrated label. And sugar-coated strawberries for dessert.
