A few times a month my husband and I try to squeeze in a date night.  Sometimes we go out and grab dinner.  And other times we drop the little one off with a relative and come back to our home for a date night-in. 
We may rent a movie and pop open a bottle of wine. I will usually cook a little something for just the two of us. These are my rare opportunities to prepare a meal without having to keep in mind the taste preferences of a finicky toddler and a very picky teenager. ;)  So when they do happen I go all out with flavors that my husband and I love, but that the kiddos would probably turn their nose up at.

This amazingly delicious Chipotle Pumpkin & Chicken Lasagna is just one such example of a more "adult"-like meal.  My husband and I have always been a fan of chipotle peppers in adobo.  They add a smoky, spicy kick to this lasagna.  The creamy pumpkin and ricotta cheese balance out the spiciness of the peppers. And a hint of cinnamon brings a touch of sweetness to the entire dish...
