Here Is A 5 Ways To Have A Romantic Date Night Dinner With Your Spouse At Home!!!


Romantic Date Night Dinner With Your Spouse At Home

You don’t have to let your relationship go into hibernation just because it’s too cold out, or because you’ve resolved to spend less money (and eat fewer calories) at restaurants.

Date night in can be just as romantic, special, and delicious,according to Ashley Rodriguez, creator of the blog Not Without Salt. In her new cookbook titled Date Night In, which is full of meals for two to make at home, she explains how the weekly ritual nourishes a relationship with her husband and gives her the opportunity to experiment in the kitchen.

Plus, she says cooking at home lets you control what’s on your plate. Here, her top tips for an at-home date.

Put It On the Calendar.
 If you made reservations for dinner, you probably wouldn’t cancel because you got busy at work or felt tired. So treat your date night in with the same respect, says Rodriguez. “See it as something sacred.”

Choose Food That Excites You.
You’ve got six other nights a week to eat your old standbys. So pick a recipe that you can’t wait to try — it’ll make cooking feel more fun and less like work.

Prepare in Advance — and for the Future.
 If you know you won’t have tons of time before your date, eliminate some of the prep work the day before or before you leave for work. Something as simple as shaking up a salad dressing in advance can take off some of the pressure, says Rodriguez. And make sure your hard work keeps working for you — whip up extras so you’ll have leftovers!

Create a Special Environment.
 A table full of clutter or an unswept floor will remind you of chores, not romance. Candles aren’t always a necessity (although they’re nice!) but at least try and clear the space and set the table. Rodriguez’s husband sets up a playlist and shakes up a cocktail each week to help set the mood.

Dress Up (at Least a Little)
If you were going out, you probably wouldn’t leave your PJs on. The same goes for eating in, says Rodriguez. A cute top or a swipe of lipstick can go a long way toward enhancing the feel of the evening. It also helps remind you that even though you’re at home, you’re on a date!
