Diet is a word that you don't really want to hear on Valentine's Day, especially since the word you probably
want to hear is chocolate. Unfortunately, millions of people are either actively dieting or simply watching
their weight - and they neither want to eat all those extra calories and fat grams at a meal, nor do they want to
refuse them. After all, they've only lost weight, not their taste buds. Dieters have learned how to cope at
restaurants, but if you are inclined to cook for your sweetheart, you will have to customize your dinner menu to their
requirements. Fortunately, this isn't as difficult as it seems. Try one of these menus for your special evening, one
lower in fat and one lower in carbs. Both include an appetizer, side dish, a main course and a dessert, all of which
should go over in a big way with your Valentine - without making them any bigger.

Finally, Chili Orange Truffles are lower in fat and carbs than many slightly more traditional truffles, so you might want to make up a batch of these for dessert, too.
