The semester began and I don’t think we’ve stopped running yet. I can’t wait to carve out the time (and energy) to share some of the ideas and dishes that I’ve been working on,
Anniversary Date Night
To begin, I can’t believe that Dave and I just celebrated our 9th Wedding Anniversary! Our actual anniversary fell in the middle of the week, so we did our big date night on the Friday night. On the “real” night we had a great dinner at home of Chicken Taco Casserole, but to start I made an amuse buche that we’d had at our wedding.
Date Night Dates
These Date Night dates are a simple combination of a whole pitted date stuffed with walnuts and Parmesan cheese. If you have it in your budget, these are superlative if done with mejdool dates. Our budget didn’t quite run that deep, so instead I used whole pitted dates from the bulk bins at our local supermarket and they tasted fantastic.
Date Night Dates
Ingredients
8 whole pitted dates
8 whole or 16 halved walnuts, no shell
8 shards of Parmesan cheese
Directions
- With a small, sharp knife cut an opening slit into the top of each date.
- Depending on the size of the dates, insert a whole or half walnut into each.
- Insert a shard of Parmesan into each date.
- Serve on a nice plate with fancy beverage of choice. Enjoy!

Here’s to more amazing memories! Love ya, Dave!
