Menu Plan for the Week of 1/11

A practice my husband and I have decided to resume is a weekly candlelight dinner. Since he is graduate student and takes evening classes (only one semester left!), he often has to miss dinner with us. So a late dinner as a couple once a week is our way to reclaim some time together. I will try to take some snapshots of the spread, which will usually be a more elegantly arranged version of whatever is on the menu for Monday.

Occasionally I have made a less expensive meal for the kids so the two of us can savor more gourmet fare and keep our grocery expenses reasonable. I am wondering: has anyone else has done these type of intimate dinners for two? I'd love to hear your ideas!
