Delightful Desserts for 2

What could be a more perfect ending to an intimate Valentine’s Day dinner for two than a delightful dessert the two of you can share?

There’s something very special about combining butter, sugar, and flour into a gift. It takes planning, energy, and thought that show in the results. A cake for two is about the person with whom you share it.” —Sarah Levy, S. Levy Foods

Simply Eating Well

Patricia and Tom
Now that our nest is empty, Tom and I are enjoying quiet, intimate dinners at home. Simple meals. Smaller portions. The best cuts of meat. Organic vegetables. I’m always trying new recipes for 2 and still learning how to scale down the family favorites we’ve enjoyed through the years. Stay tuned.
