Valentine’s Day is sneaking up on me. I’ve been cruising along feeling like January with all the snow and cold we’ve been having, and all of a sudden – the calendar says February!

And the realization that Valentine’s Day is this week hit me like one of Cupid’s arrows.

I need to get busy planning for the big dinner, or there won’t be anything special for supper Friday evening. (and that’s the last day of the year my husband wants to go out to eat!)

I pulled out my Guide to Planning a Romantic Dinner and started my To – Do list.

This eBook is a fabulous way to plan a special evening! It takes away all the stress of what to make and how to decorate! This guide includes recipes for all the dishes you’ll need for the dinner, including dessert! Get your copy now, Click Here!

I may change up the menu just slightly, though. My husband’s All-Time-Favorite dessert is Boston Creme Pie, and I’ve made it into a heart shaped cake before (see it here). Since that was such a hit, I’ll make this for dessert instead.

Of course, I’m really undecided, because I found this recipe for Brownie Conversation Hearts while I was looking for my Boston Creme Pie recipe, and these are adorable! I make have to make some of these, just because!

To set the mood, I’m going to decorate the dining room in red & white, using a table cloth, some candles, an old dress purse and some costume jewelry.

And, I’m going to find a pretty dress to wear! I love this store, ModCloth! They have some of the cutest retro style dresses! What’s even better, they have all sizes!

I especially love this red dress!

I think I’ll add a strand of pearls and some pumps, this outfit should turn his head!

The only thing left to do is put together a play list of some love songs that we can dance to. There’s a whole lot of music out there that is easy to dance to, especially when you’re dancing in the privacy of your own home! Maybe I’ll even be able to find a waltz!

 

Now, I’m all set, just need to make a run to the grocery store for ingredients, get a pedicure and start cooking! I’m ready for dining and dancing!

Do you prefer Valentine’s Day dinner at home or at your favorite restaurant?
