happy valentine's day!

tomorrow my husband and i are going out with our friends kim and tom to celebrate valentine's day but i thought you all might enjoy seeing the feast that i surprised my husband with last year.  for starters, i made a tomato artichoke soup using some fresh vegetables, white wine and pureed tomatoes (this was made from a combination of several recipes i found online) and topped it off with a parmesan crostini. our second course included a salad of baby rocket leaves (aurugula) with roasted cherry tomatoes and my lemon dijon dressing (see post from january 28th).  for the main entree, i followed giada's recipe for spinach and mushroom ravioli with my basic marinara sauce.  and for dessert, i followed a recipe for a honey lavender panna cotta that i found on apartment therapy's website topped with some balsamic and pepper soaked blackberries.  i've posted some pics below- hope you all have a great valentine's day!
