Feeling a little fancy this February? Well Katie & Denis have the answer for you! Let's get our feast on while strutting our fashion sense as we dine in style with Fancy Pants!

Martinis: Heather & Eric
What do you drink when you want to be fancy? Martinis of course! We felt very sophisticated with our choice of gin or vodka, dirty or Gibson, dry or wet, but all served straight up, shaken not stirred!
Poor Heather & Eric may have had a few too many drinks the night before our Culinary Couples dinner, nothing like making martinis with a hangover! HA!
For those of us that preferred a little more sweetness to our drink, we also had the option of Cosmopolitans - still fancy in their fancy glasses!
Beer selection included Stella Artois and Dos Equis, because who other than the most interesting man in the world drinks Dos Equis!
Recipe:
It was basically a make your own martini bar with selections of vodka, gin, vermouth, olives, and olive juice.

Shrimp Cocktail: Ryan & MJ
Who's the fanciest appetizer of them all? Shrimp cocktail! Served chilled with sliced lemon and cocktail sauce, this is a true display of elegance!
Plus, we finally got to sneak some seafood into our Culinary Couples dinners - sorry Denis!

Filet mignon, Scallops, Mushroom Risotto & Zucchini: Katie & Denis
This was a fantastic fancy feast! The house smelled amazing as Katie & Denis worked their magic.
The mushroom risotto took quite a while to make, so luckily Katie had a delicious martini to enjoy during the process!
The filet and scallops were cooked to perfection - and thank goodness someone else finally set off a smoke alarm other than Ann & Jason!
We sat down to a table beautifully set and ate our fancy dinner by candlelight as we watched the fancy celebrities at the Oscars - Jason in his Fancy Pants!
