For our Valentine's day meal, Drew and I decided we wanted to cook together. To make it fun he secretly chose and shopped for the entree and salad items while I did the same with desserts and drinks. This made it so much more fun! We sipped on wine and listened to some Dave Barnes while we dirtied up the kitchen.
Here is our Valentine's Day meal with as many recipes to share as I could scrape up...
We sat at our dining room table, which for some reason we hardly ever do and stuffed ourselves to full capacity. Everything we made turned out amazingly delicious!
Over dinner we talked about our first Valentine's day together where Drew surprised me with a home made dinner. He convinced me to dress up and said we were going out then drove me around and wouldn't let me open my eyes until we got to "the restaurant." When I opened my eyes we were in my parent's driveway and I was so confused. When we walked downstairs I realized that Drew had cooked an amazing meal and decorated the entire basement with streamers, confetti, candles, etc. He enlisted the help of my sweet family and I was blown away. My then 17 year old boyfriend would 7 years later become my husband and now 3 years later we are still celebrating love just like way back when. I pray it is always that way!
