You guys!  Valentine’s Day is upon us!

love

I get it, Hallmark holiday, blah blah blah.  But I am deliriously IN LOVE this year, so I am going to enjoy myself AND the love of my life this year on Valentine’s Day.

Ben and I are going to White Castle for new experience.  We’ve had some fancy dinners (Ruth’s Chris for his birthday, Skyline Club for my birthday) in the last month, so there’s no reason why we have to break the bank for this holiday.

I have something fun planned for Ben, small and affordable, but special nonetheless.  I would share here, but I don’t want to give away any secrets, so you’ll have to check in later.

Oh!  And don’t forget to check out my blog on DoItIndy.com on some ideas for Vday in this great city.

Be My Valentine

I am a pretty luck girl this Valentine’s Day.  I’m unconditionally loved.

I’m single.  Sometimes I think painfully so, but I’m happy.  But there’s this guy.  He listens when I talk.  He is there when I cry my eyes out.  I’m constantly learning from him.  He understands me.  I want to surround myself with his company 24/7.  I love him.

 

And he loves me unconditionally.  I’m so thankful Jesus is my valentine.

Monday Munch Volume 7: Valentine Pretzel Hugs (working title)

Still need a treat so you can be festive for that silly Hallmark holiday tomorrow?  Never fear!  Thanks to Pinterest, via my Aunt Donna, I have something easy for you!

What you need:

Grid pretzels (although I saw someone did these on Facebook with the regular twists…looked like hearts…)

Hershey Hugs (you could use Kisses but the color with Hugs is way cuter)

M&Ms (of course the festive Valentine ones!)

What you do:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper or foil (helps with melty drips).  Lay out the pretzels.  Top each pretzel with a Hug.  Pop in the oven for 10 minutes (per Pinterest instructions…I did 8 minutes and they were extra gooey.  I’d say start with 6 and go from there).  After the pretzels come out, top the melted Hug with an M&M.   Then put the treats into the fridge or freezer to set.  Not sure Pinterest gave these instructions but I found it to be helpful.  Then viola!  A simple yet adorable treat for the masses.

Yum! A fun Valentine treat!

Now go get your MUNCH on…Valentine style!
