Valentine's Day

So does anyone actually make a nice Valentine's Day meal for their hubby? What do you have? Personally, I'd rather take a break from cooking on this day, but--- as much as I enjoy a break, I don't like crowded resteraunts! We already went to our church Valentine Banquet, great! One year, I did surprise him and took him on a "date", got a massage and out to lunch, it was fun surprising him and he loved it. It would be fun to surprise him again sometime.

I am doing the 14 days of Valentines this year. And I will be making him a nice meal this year. Often we go out but this year won't go til Thurs as it suits both schedules better. When kids were younger always made a special meal with my good plates, etc.

I am making the To Die For Crock Pot Roast because my family enjoys it. I will also have mashed potatoes and probably some fried okra. My husband prefers (sigh)a box cake (yellow) with chocolate (canned frosting). I would prefer to make something homemade or more decadent but I am making this for him. I may cheat and melt 1 C of semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir them into the frosting to help the taste some.

Place roast in crockpot. Mix all three envelopes
and sprinkle on top of roast. Pour water in
the bottom of the crockpot. Cover and cook

end for more gravy.

Happy Valentines Day!

So, Mom Jill, I am just curious, how do you celebrate the 14 days of Valentines? How long have you been married? For us, it will be 34 years next month. I decided last night, I will make him a special meal. Hopefully, he will notice, lol.

We decided to eat at home rather than go out. I'm fixing linguini and shrimp dish followed by a white chocolate with cool whip and raspberry dessert.

Every other year we go out and every other year I make the meal. When I make the meal I make a meal "for the heart from the heart!" So often I make salmon... and everything is made with love and try to do everything as ♥ conscience as I can!
