I hope everyone single or attached enjoyed their Sunday. When I was single I always found Vday to be a great excuse to buy myself flowers and make something nice for dinner. Now that I'm married I have someone else to buy me flowers, but now I have two people to cook a romantic dinner for (and yes I still want to do the cooking).
So if you haven't been able to tell by now, we like to show our love with food in this house (please see meal #2 below). I started my Valentine's day with the boys making me a delicious vegan breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, and fruit with yogurt. It was awesome!
It was absolutely freezing here on Sunday, to the point where it was dangerous to be outside. I did brave the cold, however, to trek out to the grocery store. I asked my husband what he wanted for Valentine's Day dinner and I made my pilgrimage to Trader Joe's.
Dylan requested soup because it was the perfect soup kind of day (i.e. FREEZING!) I referenced Chloe Coscarelli's Vegan Italian Kitchen cookbook and decided I was making her spicy tomato soup (maybe not so spicy for my hubby). I love her recipes because they are easy to make and don't require copious exotic ingredients I can only find at Whole Foods for $20. Anyways, the soup came out amazing and I served the leftovers when my mother in law came over tonight. Everyone enjoyed it.
This week my husband is taking me out all week (it's his Vday gift and also we're on school vacation!). Some of the places we are going are vegan restaurants in the area. I'm very much looking forward to it and am prepping myself for nostalgia overload!
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
