YAY! I finally had someone to cook for on Valentine's Day! While it wasn't all homemade, it was still quite delicious and fun! The menu consisted of swiss cheese fondue (that my mom had sent me), a chicken salad, brownies with vanilla ice cream and raspberries, and pomegranate martinis! Here's the recipe for the chicken salad:
