Since Adam wasn't going to be here for Hearts Day, I decided we'd celebrate a little early instead. So on Saturday while he was out shoveling the last of snow, I quickly made one his favorite meals: homemade spaghetti and meatballs (a la lady and the tramp). And of course threw some Texas Toast in the oven because the homemade kind never tastes as good as the frozen stuff.
And no romantic dinner is complete without champagne. But my spur-of-the-moment plan didn't include a trip to the grocery store so I ended up raiding our wine rack instead.
And for dessert? I recreated one of Adam's favorites from our honeymoon: chocolate molten lava cake. Or as he calls it, 'the chocolate factory'.
Gooey and rich, it was the perfect finale to our impromptu Valentine's Day meal.
It might be untraditional, but a cozy valentine's day is just as good as a fancy night out. And as for my Feb 14th? Well, I spent it curled up in bed, with a glass of wine and a good book. Absolute bliss.
Sounds like the perfect day!!
