50 couples were treated to our Valentine's Day Luncheon by Chef Rob Henry.  We served a tossed spring mix salad with dried cranberries, candied walnuts and topped with raspberry vinaigrette. The main entree, Beef Wellington, was carved tableside by Tim Knight, garlic mashed potatoes and fresh asparagus with hollandaise sauce rounded out the meal.  Dessert was chocolate crème brulee and our drink of choice was a Cosmopolitan.

Smith Village
In honor of Valentine’s Day, to show appreciation to our residents, the servers at Smith Village created candy grams and delivered them to each room.  The servers enjoyed this experience, as they were able to brighten the residents’ days.  

Four Seasons
Pastry Chef Kristen Mellis decorated a beautiful strawberry birthday cake to look like a Sweet Hearts Box. Residents who celebrated February Birthdays were extremely excited to see the cake and it really made their night special.

 
Valentine’s Day at Oakwood Common
Culinary Corner began the Valentine’s day celebration. The DDS gave the residents in attendance home made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate gnash and hand made royal icing hearts. The history of Valentine’s Day and special memories of this holiday were discussed. This was followed by a beautifully planned culinary extravaganza composed of Italian Wedding Soup, Shrimp & Lobster Sauce over Fettuccine or Chicken Breast stuffed with sundried tomatoes, mozzarella & fresh basil. The dinner was highlighted by a sweetheart cake with strawberries, whipped topping, mint and a heart shaped sugar cookie. 

The Felician Sisters in Livonia Michigan thought it would be fun to sell Valentine's Day Hearts wtih treats to the sisters and staff.  They purchased the heart and filled it out with what they wished to say and we passed them out with a special treat.  It was a bigger success than we had hoped for, raising more money (for our Toys for Tots fund) in 1 day than we had raised for the entire year before.  The sisters loved it and the staff had fun passing the around.
