I'm not huge on Valentine's Day. However, I am still a newlywed I suppose...and I'm absolutely head over heels in love with a certain dark haired, dimpled man! I also love surprising my family with goodies! So I went all out this year! I made sooo many things!!
I even made Ron a heart shaped breakfast sandwich "to-go" before work yesterday with a "sugar and spice" (brown sugar and cinnamon) latte with a cocoa heart on top! It's the little things in life, right?
I sent my little brother and sister (Justin is a junior at Brandeis University and Molly is a 1st grade teacher in Greenfield Ma) each a box of valentine's day cookies! (that recipe I will share in another entry) I saved 4 cookies out of those- 2 for my parents, one for Ron and 1 for Ron and I to share.
If anyone wants any of the other recipes I'm posting pictures of- just ask! I'm happy to share them! But there is a LOT to write and none of them are my own recipe and none of them are "heathy" except the cookies I baked (which I will make an entry for later I promise!)
Every Valentine's Day Ron and I have spent together- as cliche as it is- we make chocolate covered strawberries. This year I wanted to make him something extra special (even though I'm not a fan my self). So I made him a heart shaped tiramisu! It literally took me two days to make this thing! It's crazy!
I also made some truffles and finally succeeded! I've made them for Ron once before (the Valentine's day he asked me to marry him) but I tried something new this year. I figured that they or the tiramisu might be a failure so I did them both so I'd have a backup if that happened! As it turns out- everything came out great! So now we are sending chocolates and tiramisu off with our friends!! lol MUST GET CHOCOLATE OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!
Like I said... I made lots of stuff! I'm still not done! I know that the bowl of buffalo wings probably doesn't scream "Valentine's day" to you. You are right. However, along with not really like tiramisu myself, I also definitely don't eat buffalo wings. Especially extra spicy and on the bone! Yuck! But Ron loves them! I also despise blue cheese (hello! it's MOLDY!!!) but Ron likes it. So I bought wings and expensive fancy blue cheese and all the fixings and surprised him with extra spicy wings and a bowl of homemade blue cheese dressing!
If that doesn't say "I love you" I don't know what does.
I'd like to dedicate this Valentine's day post to my one and only Valentine. The love of my life, my best friend, my taster of all my creations! The best husband I could ever ask for.
Hi love! Thank your for all your hard work and extra love! I really loved the wings and the cake the most! Love you forever!
