Short & Sweet - XOXO

Valentine's Day is known as the day of hugs and kisses.  Being affectionate and appreciative towards each other.  Chris and I spent the day like any other day - doing housework and researching rotation site options for this fall.

Instead of going out to dinner at a fancy restaurant, we stayed in and cooked a nice meal together.  Started it off with appetizers of cheese and crackers with shrimp cocktail.  Since we had negative degree wind chills last night and snow, I knew I didn't want to grill a steak outside.  After searching online for a top-notch steak that you can cook inside, I found Steak Diane and got a great recommendation for a recipe from a co-worker.  Our main course was Steak Diane, sautéed green beans, and roasted red potatoes.  I knew I had to make the perfect dessert - it's a tradition that I make a great one each year for Valentine's Day!  I decided to make an Italian dessert for my Italian boyfriend - mini cannoli cups.  They were delicious!

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day celebrating with the one they love!
