We challenged three chefs to come up with two recipes for a Valentine's Day feast - one for a simple dish and the other for a more impressive appetizer, entrée or dessert.

Want to treat your sweetheart to something a little different this Valentine's Day? Check out the wares at these new foodie destinations.

On the Table:  When it comes to losing weight, do what works for you. You probably have an idea of what that is, and you probably know what doesn't work, too.

If you want a late-night treat, tune in to TLC tonight and watch Raleigh's Wayne Steinkopf lead a team competing on "Ultimate Cake Off." The show airs at 10 p.m.

Sunday Dinner:  The annual Fling the Fruitcake Off My Thighs Workout Frenzy started a little later than usual at my gym this year. I guess the new year's motivation was no match for the tundra-type weather. And the stretch pants were still holding out.

If you're going to do nachos for the Super Bowl, they'd better live up to the hype of the big event.
