Don’t get me wrong, it can be really fun to get dressed up and go out to a nice restaurant with your SO, but there’s just something really sexy and relaxing about cooking a nice meal and staying in. Cooking can be a really great collaborative activity to do with your partner and a terrific way to learn how to work together. A Couple Cooks  have a great article about all the positive benefits of cooking with your parter as well as some tips like designating a recipe leader (and then switching out the next time) to make the whole process more harmonious. Thinking of planning a date night soon? Check out my best recommendations below for some delicious recipes to help set the mood!
