Goldie–my girlfriend and best plush pal–and I pretty much have date night down to a science, so I thought I’d share some tips on how to plan the perfect date night for your main squeak.

Set the Mood With a Cheesy Appetizer

We like to start date night with an assortment of fresh Wisconsin cheese. Goldie likes gouda and brie, while I prefer classics like cheddar, American and Swiss. Then we add some color to our cheese plate with fresh fruit. Fruit and cheese naturally complement each other, as you may recall from my blog on flavor combinations.

Enjoy the Delicious Things in Life

As you know, I’m big on food. I love going out with Goldie for a delicious meal­—whether it’s something we’ve never tried before, or a classic we can’t get enough of like Culver's ButterBurgers (and, of course, a Chocolate Shake to share!). No matter where we’re grabbing a bite, Goldie and I agree that the best part of any meal is just being together. ❤️

Stroll Off Into the Sunset

End the night with a casual stroll around town. Try meeting up with friends or relaxing on a park bench or, our favorite, walking to the lake to watch the sunset. There’s something about the way the sunlight is reflected on the water that makes all your worries just melt away. It’s the perfect way to end a fantastic night together.

Happy date night and stay cheesy!
