With Valentine's Day coming up quickly next week, I thought instead of focusing on what cards, flowers, or decorations you should be prepping for the big day, we could jump to something that I believe is the ultimate love language:
food.
Seriously. Those other things are nice, and everyone has their own buzz that gives their relationship the ultimate twitterpated feeling around this time of year. But quite frankly: I don't think anyone should shout about what me or my man should give each other on Valentine's Day (followed with some kind of sponsored ad in the blog post, especially. haha).
We (and you couples out there!) know each other best. You'll know what to do. They're your love, and you've already got this. Do they love roses? Give them roses. Do they like going to a sports game? Bam. Let's find some tickets. Do they just want to have a night in with absolutely no distractions? Done and done. It should be simple! There shouldn't be a guide to Valentine's Day gifts, or how you decide to spend that evening. It should just come naturally, you crazy love birds.
On the other hand, though, I safely think there is something everyone could enjoy on Valentine's Day with their loved one: I've yet to meet a couple that doesn't like to eat together. Food is something that people can enjoy together, experience together, savor together, no matter what. Enjoying a simple meal at a restaurant (or at home with your little ones) or even sharing a small dessert together forces the couple to do something that I believe you can't put a price on:
spending time together.
talking together.
And that, my friends, is what I think Valentine's Day is about. "True meaning of Valentine's Day" if you will. Haha.
If you're like us, and spending Valentine's Day in this year (on the 14th for us, anyways) you're probably on the hunt for something special to serve that evening that won't be too much of a stressful endeavor. I say, make one of your favorites. We used to do fettuccine alfredo, then we moved over to some glazed meatloaves with brown butter mashed potatoes. It's always changing. Make something you both love (and make it together, eh?), and I'm sure everything will be just perfect.
This recipe, my friends, is a winner. If you're looking for something to make, that is extra special and for sure will impress your lover, THIS. THIS. THIS. THIS.
