Happy Valentine's Day


What are you doing for Valentine's Day?

At our house it is a family event and we've decided to skip the chocolates and the store bought cards and go for something more personal.

We're cutting paper hearts and making a kid and adult friendly I Love You Dinner. Aside from Nick insisting on using glue with no help from Mom, so far the planning is going well.

So what is an I Love You Dinner? Well, for the moment, it means that everyone gets to pick one part of the dinner. We're saying "I love you" by cooking our favorite foods. So far (you won't even believe it) the kids have chosen Chicken and Broccoli. I don't know when Alexa is going to remember that cake exists but I am expecting it to come up when we start talking about dessert. Rod and I haven't decided on our choices yet but I am leaning towards Miso Soup.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Happy Heart Day to you and everyone you love. Oh, and don't forget, Dark Chocolate (70% and above) is actually good for you in small quantities. One of my favorites is Green and Black's 70% Dark. Green and Black's is committed to ethical trading and organic products. Check them out here.
