A while back I received a question from a Sugar user who was looking for a romantic dinner that didn't break the caloric bank. I decided to share the recipes of the dinner I will be making for my hubbie and me to share. The dishes are easy to make, tasty, light, and complement each other nicely.

If you're a runner looking to burn more calories or increase your speed, you've got to try a Nike Parachute ($50).
