Valentine's Day is Just Around the Corner! Do It Right!

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses. Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher, 600 BC.

Are you giving a gift? Do not wait until the last minute. If you are ordering online (we suggest that you do), please look for Great Gift Items from our sponsors.

If you waited until the last minute and figured it was just OK to send flowers (yes, flowers are appropriate for men too), there are "Things To Know". As if life isn't complicated enough...the type of, or color of the flower you send, also sends a very specific message. What? It's True! For instance, all roses say "I Love You" but each color has it's own meaning. You had better Click Here to find out.

Your favorite restaurant is going to be packed and they will be turning tables so fast you will still be tasting your appetizer on the way out the door. So, why not cook a romantic dinner at home? Good idea, IF you have some great tried and true recipes. We have done the work for you. Valentine's Day Recipes are under the link.

Today's Recipe: Crispy Baked Chicken Wings with Sweet and Sour Sauce

Makes about 20 pieces
Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 27 minutes

Ingredients:

Sauce:

1 cup SMUCKER'S Apricot Preserves
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup cider vinegar

Wings:

CRISCO No-Stick Cooking Spray
2 pounds chicken wings
1/3 cup grainy mustard
3 tablespoons CRISCO Canola Oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil; spray with Crisco No Stick Cooking Spray, set aside. Combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat just until sugar is melted, set aside.

Disjoint chicken wings, discard tips. Rinse and pat dry with a paper towel. In a large bowl, combine grainy mustard, Crisco Canola Oil, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper; add chicken wings and toss to coat. Place coated chicken wings on prepared sheet. Spray each wing thoroughly with Crisco No Stick Cooking Spray. Bake 25 minutes, turning once.
