This recipe is inspired by the Social dimension of wellness.

Social wellness is about relating . It's about attracting and maintaining long-lasting relationships. Further, it involves building healthy, nurturing, and supportive relationships as well as fostering a genuine connection with those around you by taking the time to listen and learn from others.

It's definitely nice to have a night out at a fine dining restaurant. But why not create your own fine dining experience? It's more intimate, and the best part is that you don't need to leave the comfort of your home. One of the perks of going out for dinner is that you aren't in a rush to finish. By creating a similar restaurant environment at home, you can adopt the same philosophy and emulate this feeling.

Once per week, I try to make a new ethnic dish. I set the mood with coordinating music, candles and wine. This particular evening was Mexican style, so I played Mexican traditional music. Remember, dating your spouse lets them know that they are a priority to you. Planning a special dinner at home tells them they are still special to you. Just the thought that you took the time to plan a night-in provides a sense of love for one another. Next time you plan an at-home dinner date, try to make it fun by creating a restaurant-like environment. Buen Provecho!
