So far I&#8217;m set on the main dish &mdash; linguine alla vongole with homemade pasta, and I&#8217;m thinking about a halloumi flamb\u00e9 with date paste and reduced balsamic for dessert since I don&#8217;t like to bake. <\/p>\n<p>I want a starter though, and I need suggestions! We eat seafood but not any other meat. I&#8217;m intrigued by a Parmesan basket but not sure what to fill it with, and we&#8217;re currently sick of salad. Suggestions for a minimal ingredient cocktail also appreciated (low budget!).<\/p>\n<p>Sent by <b>Quinn<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/thekitchn\/good-questions\/help-me-find-a-good-starter-for-valentines-day-dinner-good-questions-108722\">Read Full Post<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/rAr-JI3fE5m3cH92DDvjWYzvv_I\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/rAr-JI3fE5m3cH92DDvjWYzvv_I\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/rAr-JI3fE5m3cH92DDvjWYzvv_I\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/rAr-JI3fE5m3cH92DDvjWYzvv_I\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/apartmenttherapy\/thekitchn\/~4\/xNrTBisGsCo\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: This is the first time I&#8217;m able to cook for Valentine&#8217;s dinner.
