Recipes from Today’s Show: First Date Dinner Menu

TODAY on MHTV: Having three sons, it’s inevitable that girlfriends are going to enter the picture. When I once heard Calder talking about take-out options for an upcoming date night, I had to intervene immediately. I wanted him to learn a simple menu that he could make (and that any date would love) – a grilled strip steak topped with a garlic-parsley compound butter alongside rosemary roasted potatoes and grilled wedges of salad with a creamy Caesar dressing. For dessert, it’s ok to be a kid again – I blanketed vanilla ice cream with homemade hot fudge sauce – a guaranteed winner.
