Happy Valentines Day!
Tonight we're having the meal I've threatened to make twice in a row, chicken and roasted red potatoes w/a side of brussel sprouts(EW.) This time I really mean it. We ended up w/taco Tuesday, because dh felt like tacos.
Is anyone doing anything special for Valentines Day? We don't do anything, because dh thinks of it as a Hallmark holiday. I'm indifferent, but wouldn't say no to a nice bouquet of flowers or a romantic gesture.
What's on your menu?
Have a good day and do something nice for yourselves today.

We don't do Valentine's Day here either - not that it matters that much this year, as DH is not home anyway, but in London for work. Dinner today is Tuna/Sweet corn casserole with pasta - Ash Wednesday, so no meat today.

Valentine's has just recently started to become a thing here, and I agree with your DH scrapmaven. We're waiting for another 4-6 inches of snow tomorrow, and wind! Seriously considering postponing going to the stable (narrow, winding road, and possibly last on the snow removal schedule.) Dinner? Pasta and meat sauce, cheese on top, 10 minutes in the oven. Quick and easy dinner will be my mantra for the week.

We are reheating the leftover chicken enchiladas tonight. I am also making the Spanish Rice that I was supposed to make the day we first had these. Unfortunately, I didn't read the package until after I put the enchiladas in the oven and couldn't work it time wise - I've never had a rice item that needed 25 minutes of cook time!

We don't really do anything for this day.. we celebrate love through out the year 😊
My dh works tonight so it's just the boys and I. I'm going to put chili in the crock pot for him for work this week. I'll ask the boys what they want to eat and fix that. Bet it will be homemade pancakes!

I've got some leftover meatloaf and mac and cheese thawing - steam or roast the remaining brussel sprouts, and we have an easy dinner!

Nothing special planned but a drive to take DD to meet her grandparents so she can see her mom this weekend. No school for her Thursday or Friday. So, for dinner, not sure. I have also threatened spaghetti for 2 days, maybe tonight, maybe something on the run. Who knows? I got a nice surprise when I got up, a wine cork keeper (hard to see in picture ), flowers and my favorite sweet wine (great with dark chocolate ). Happy Valentine's Day to our tribe!

I got some nice ciabatta rolls at Aldi. I planned on grilled chicken with pesto and cheese on toasted ciabattas.
I have to run DS to therapy tonight and then I plan to cuddle on the couch with DH. Happy Valentine's Day!

For our dining pleasure this evening we will be enjoying steak grilled to perfection on the stove grill, asparagus steamed to tender, cheesy hash brown potatoes, and entimens donut holes dipped in melted dark chocolate. Perhaps a fine red wine and a lager for our sipping pleasure...........
Or fried egg sandwiches cause it's a work week night and I'm all about easy on work week nights.......LOL. We do have the heart shaped box of decent chocolate candy for dessert though........
Happy Wednesday Everybody! Happy Valentines Day Dinner Tribe, Hugs and Kisses and Heart Shaped Wishes!

I'm at the salon waiting to get a haircut. I usually get flowers and candy but I'm thinking DH will forego the candy because of my diabetes diagnosis. Pizza is on the menu so I'm not cooking!

We’re having baked chicken breasts with roasted Brussels sprouts and roasted asparagus. We, in this case, is dd and me. Dh is heating up a frozen pizza for himself. Dd is home from work sick for a second day. I’m hoping none of us catch her sickness. No Valentine’s plans for us. I bought myself a photo printer and told dh it covers Valentine’s Day and my birthday next month.

I am a lying liar who lies. Once again we are NOT having chicken and potatoes. Dh wants take-out Chinese. I have physical therapy late this afternoon, so I am actually glad that I don't have to cook.

We are having fish stick casserole with potato crowns. I made DD a valentine so DH and I will drive it to her house and tape it to her door. We always exchange cards, and this year, I bought DH a new, very sturdy grater. He is the grater of cheese and chocolate in our house. Thanks for the thread.

Neither of us wanted to deal with a restaraunt. We were going to go out for seafood, decided to have it anyway, just prepared at home.
Salad, crab cakes with remoulade sauce, shrimp etouffe, and key lime pie.

we decided early on in our relationship and marriage it wasn't too big a deal. He already bought me chocolate this week (as mentioned in the other valentine thread). We like to just watch a movie or now it's the Olympics and do take out. That's our thing! Happy Valentines to the Peas and family! I don't mind it either way and I try to send a Happy note to my family. I alreayd got one from my aunt so I sent her a Snoopy gram! tracyarts do you have doordash delivery or curbside? - That's our new favorite thing! like I said we almost don't go to resturaunts anymore.

I think Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Father's Day are all giant pains in the ass and I stay far away from restaurants on those days. If the kids allow it! However, I do have a valentine + small gift for the kid. Because I like him. Tonight is matzoh ball soup (I add chicken, carrots, and spinach so it's a full meal) and maybe cheesy toast.

Well, it looks like DH and I are in good company with not celebrating Valentine's Day. In fact, he's at the dentist now and I'm getting ready to head out to yoga class. It looks like he took himself out to lunch today, so he will enjoy those leftovers. I like whole wheat cheese toast on yoga night. Since it is a day for saying sweet things...I am fond of my dinner tribe

We are having strip loin steaks, and salad. There are still green beans and asparagus in the fridge. I could roast some tomatoes in the oven. That means I will have to go to the deli to get some feta cheese. Maybe I will get a focaccia for dinner tonight, too. I have to get going as the OTHER deli I am thinking of going to sells out quickly. They have great feta as well.
Tonight is DS' last night at home so I am kind of sad today. I am happy he is moving out but I will still miss him terribly.

Donut holes dipped in chocolate? 😋 Well I picked up a box of Entimens donut holes while foraging for food last weekend and a sack of delicious looking dark melting chocolate fell off the shelf at Sam's Club a few weeks ago and landed in my cart so I thought why not? It sounds pretty good to me.......

My dd! If I know she's going to be here for dinner, I make sure corn is nowhere in sight. We are very picky about corn, too. We have it in the late summer, it has to be from this one farm near us, it needs to be peaches and cream AND we have to be not dieting at the moment. I don't really like corn because it sticks to my teeth. The corn we get from the farm is very good, though!

Rice and beans for me, BF will have a steak sandwich from last night's leftovers, lucky cuss! He did cook it, though, so deserves to have it.
We're planning on a movie tonight, and will try to see "12 Strong."
