Valentine's Day Charcuterie Board

 DARLING!!!

For the first time (I think EVER) hubs and I weren't going to be with all our kiddos on the 14th. 

Usually, V-day is about the kids. We "heart attack" the kitchen with love notes to each other. Sweets and I give them little gifts or candies and we all eat a Heart Shaped pizza (or 2) to celebrate. 

This year was different - so we celebrated early with our extended family close to the 14th. 

For next year: kisses, 'all pink' starbursts, heart shaped sugar gummies, heart shaped fruit snacks, animal crackers, strawberries, grapes, pink wafer cookies, gumballs, m&m's... so much fun!!!

Valentine's Day

Have you thought about what you are going to eat on Valentine's Day yet??

My husband and I don't subscribe to the idea that our love should be celebrated once a year by giving each other gifts - not even when we were dating. SO, around here... Valentines Day is about the kids. 

These are a few fun things I did for the kids last year. Heart shaped quesadillas and strawberries for lunch...

 Apples, carrots, cucumbers and more strawberries for snack

 Heart shaped pizza (from Papa Murphy's $4.99 each!)

 Berry sorbet and sprite in fancy glasses with pizza for dinner... I generally stick to that kind of cheesy stuff for the kids.

 BUT, I just saw these little cuties on Pinterest and thought HOW FUN! They are so darling. Maybe I'll amp up our "Sweethearts Dinner" this year and surprise everyone:)

The recipe can be found HERE. If I make them I'll just do my usual (often requested) roasted potatoes.
