My Surprise Valentine

These are so much fun to do! This is a bouquet I made for my husband last year.

Bonus points for making them heart-shaped! It's so much fun What you hate to take out. Simple As That Blog. I love this particular quote! Baseball season is just around the corner…surprise the sports fan in your life with tickets to opening day. Put the tickets in a Valentine card and to make it extra special purchase a t-shirt or hat to pair them with. It also will allow both of you to sleep in the next day. Move it to fit around your work schedules. Just pour the batter in the frying pan in a free-form heart shape and serve with strawberries and whipped cream.

This would definitely show your loved one how much you care. Is it me or does the Valentine's Day season seem to be getting longer and longer? Let the entire world know how special your partner is with a website in their name. Take a picnic blanket — or a sheet will do — and set up a romantic picnic in your living room. Feature food from your favorite deli or gourmet shop, and maybe a few adult beverages. You could also make your picnic an outing, like a car parked at a favorite overlook, a high-rise office building with a glittering view of the city lights, or a borrowed boat or RV.

Little things can make all the difference for people who are in need of a little extra love. Is there a chore that your partner typically does? You get the idea. On each stem attach a note for a future date! For example — Her: I just got your new cook book for my birthday I am so excited! Made this for breakfast and it was a hit, thanks for making this "the best valentine's ever!

I usually do something every year but your blog was the motivation I needed. Love your recipes too! Wish I had read this yesterday. Well we could have breakfast for dinner, or maybe just some yummy heart shaped cookies are in order. Thanks for the sweet ideas. I started our Valentine's day dinner early this morning and found my chocolate kisses next to my slow cooker!!!!! I loved the creativity in the X-O-X-O's!!! Happy Valentine's Day and good luck winning one of the 3 books!

I got my Valentine surprise early this morning while I was preparing our Vday dinner! It was X-O-X-O's in chocolate! I love his creativity! Tonight we will have waffles with fresh strawberries and cream…all by candlelight with the kids! Thanks for the new ideas, girls! Thanks for the ideas. Will try the icing — something I've been wanting to try for a while. I made my kids your crepes recipe for Valentine's breakfast, only with butter, sugar well, splenda-blend and lemon juice because I grew up in England and that's how they make them there — yummy!

One kid liked them that way, and the other liked them better with maple syrup I'm gonna try your buttermilk syrup next. Thanks for the recipe, I usually make plain old American pancakes so it was nice to find this recipe. Although I was running late for work hubby forgot to set the clock I still found time to make him the heart shaped cresent rolls with scrambled eggs and cheese.

We always have a special Valentine's breakfast too- biscuits and chocolate gravy. It's a family favorite from my husbands side of the family. For Valentines I make heart shaped biscuits. My kids love it, esp as its a special treat we only make once or twice a year. We had heart shaped pancakes for breakfast on Sunday morning and we also had the chocolate chip pie for desert on Sunday night…ummmmm YUMMY!!!

Saw you on Studio 5 and you both are so cute and slender! How do you do it with all the amazing food you make?

I would love to have a copy of your new book so I too could look slender and young like you two. My family just loves all the recipes that we have tried and ideas that you have provided me with. I would love to have your new cookbook as part of my collection. You have such great ideas for making everything such fun!

Would love to win your new cook book! First time visiting your site and it won't be the last! Please count me in.. I have 4 teenage boys and they loved the breakfast hearts. I have expanded on your idea and have made them for easy breakfast sandwiches that I pop in the freezer. The are thrilled to have something so good to eat that was quick to make as they wait for the bus. Keep sending your ideas. I just thought I would share this after reading about your pink milk. Last year for halloween, I decided my sons class needed orange milk to drink for snack, so to practice I made the small amount of milk I had in my fridge orange, it worked great.

Then I remembered I was making masked potatoes for dinner, yep they came out orange, cute right? Except when your 3 year old only eats like 4 foods, one of them being mashed potatoes. Cried about them even,it was so funny!

I remember when I was a kid, my mom would put pink food coloring in my cereal milk and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

As long as you have a heart shaped cookie cutter and something pink, you can pretty much turn anything into a Valentines something! Like these T-rex plates, perfect! On sale at Target right now.

Starry Nights, Stage Fright and My Surprise Valentine

Plus it ended up being great reading practice for my pre-schooler! Ya, I totally educate. Just spoon them onto the pan in heart shapes. And I made strawberry syrup. It looks like this amazing fresh syrup but alas, it is not. It took me about 45 seconds to make.



We drank Berry Smoothies with cool whip and sprinkles. Except if you consume it before 10am. Then you can call it a smoothie and feel good about eating fruit for breakfast.
