From Denny: OK, so Valentine's Day was yesterday but hey! at our house we celebrate all week long - or however long it takes me to get all these Valentine food posts published. :)

Who doesn't know how to make spaghetti and meatballs? I'm always up for yet another new twist on this comfort food favorite. Besides, spaghetti sauce and the meatballs are something you can make ahead if you only have snippets of time to do the meal.

As chef reminds us, when we go to form the meatballs make sure you have both a wet ice cream scoop and wet hands as it makes for easier handling.

Take a look at the salad in the video as it's just beautiful, chock full of all those foods good for you, ending a long winter and starting Spring.  Apples, shallots and radishes are all good support for your sinuses, lungs and colon health to banish colds and flu.  Carrot and fennel pack those extra minerals we need to restore us after a dreary winter.

These are simple recipes that would be wonderful any time of the year or for that special weekend just for the two of you!
