Valentine's Day 2013

This year Jeremy surprised me with a romantic dinner outside with a homemade fire pit. He made lamb chops, couscous, and spanakopita (from scratch!). It was so romantic and amazing! Then for dessert we had Smores!! Absolutely Perfect! What more could a girl ask for? I have the most amazing Husband EVER! 

Of course I got a pink rose!

Happy Valentine's Day Yall!

I hope each one of you has a wonderful Valentine's Day with Friends, Family, and Loved Ones.

Valentin'es Dinner!

We had a GREAT time last night with Bethany and Brian! It was soo much fun!
What we had for dinner:
For an appetizer I made a fancy bread loaf. You will need an Italian Bread loaf, sliced mushrooms, swiss cheese, poppy seed, garlic, butter, and a small onion. Slice the bread diagonally but not the whole way through. Leave about 1 inch from the bottom. Then slice it diagonally the other way. Put a mushroom and a piece of swiss cheese in each slit. In the microwave, melt the butter (1/4 cup) with 1 1/2 tbsp of poppy seeds, a dallop of garlic, and the small onion (diced). Spoon the butter mixture on top of the bread. Put the bread in foil and bake for 40 min at 350. :) delicious!!
For dinner we had asparagus, Garlic Chicken, and Cheesy scalloped potatoes.
Then for dessert, I made Chocolate Pots de Creme. It's a very complicated recipe, so if you want it you'll have to email me. :D But it was really really good. Very rich though. But very very good.
I hope all of yall had a great weekend too!! Talk to you soon!

Sneek Peak!!

Okay, So next weekend my friend is coming for dinner and she is bringing her new boyfriend! I met him at our Halloween party, but did not get to talk to him much, being a hostess and all i was all over the place... So i thought maybe dinner would be nice. And since it's almost Valentine's day, I decided to do a Pink Valentine's Day Themed Dinner Party! I'm super excited! I just love a good excuse to throw a good ole fashioned Southern Dinner Party. So here is a sneek peak at some of the decorations i've made so far: the first picture is of my tissue paper pom pom and triangle banner! Super easy and super fun to make. I just guessed at the banner and the pom pom i used Martha Stewart's diy tutorial. The second picture are little hearts i decorated from Hobby Lobby to use as my placecards.

I'm also making a menu card, and hopefully these super cute charger plates made out of old records.

I'm sure it's going to be a great evening! I can't wait!!
