Be Mine

This might have been my favorite Valentine's Day yet! G and I spent the day together enjoying the spoils of 2.14 all day long.

To start...
Strawberry crepes, G's first taste of strawberry milk and two new books! We opened our Valentine's Day cards and some special treats sent from Grandma and Grandpa.





Then...
We ran our normal Monday errands but we shared Candy Hearts and played with our Valentine's Day balloon all along the way.
It was a gorgeous day so we even enjoyed a patio lunch date, just the two of us!



After Nap...
Daddy came home early and we gave him his present. A new Elmo shirt!



Then...
We headed out for dinner at the Purple Cow and to see the Pioneer Woman at her book signing!

Our spot in line ended up being way too far back to actually wait and meet her. Unless we wanted to reschedule G's bedtime for 11 pm! It was great fun just being with my boys. G certainly makes holidays much more fun, especially the cheesy ones that we never really celebrate before anyway!

Pardon the Interruption

Please excuse this break from our regularly scheduled adorable baby sighting, but I just have to share.

Now how in all of my culinary research I have missed this woman is beyond me, but I would like to introduce the Pioneer Woman. To say I am in LOVE is to put it mildly! I stumbled upon her website a few weeks ago, I know I am probably the last one on earth, and it was love at first sight. It is loaded with recipes, mouth watering pictures for every step, and commentary that will have you laughing. My first attempt was her Grilled Ribeye with Onion Blue Cheese Sauce. Really y’all I about died. It was that good! In just a few short weeks since that amazing evening, I have made her Lasagna, Enchiladas, Chicken Strips, Crash Hot Potatoes (twice) and tonight I am mixing up my version of Chicken Spaghetti with hers. All recipes have been still thinking about it the next day good! The lasagna even got approval from my Italian hubby who frowns at the thought of anyone but his mother’s lasagna.

So go on now, hop on over to her sight. You will need to hop, since I haven’t found a figure friendly recipe yet. And if you have some time, say you are nursing a baby, read her love story and swoon over it too!

Then, call me so we can share in our new found love.
