People usually spend Valentine's Day with their one special person, but Jeffrey and I like to extend the love and include friends, as well. Since Valentine's Day is midweek this year, I'm making a simple dinner where things can be either prepped or made ahead so I'm not pressed for time on Wednesday night.

Have a delicious Valentine's Day!
