Pretty in pink! As soon as I unpacked my Valentine’s box, I knew I wanted to set a table using the small heart plates. I’ve had them for a year or two, and used them for appetizers and dessert, but never set them as a small salad plate. I searched through all my “pink” tableware and quickly realized that all pinks are not the same. I had variations of “pink” pink, “blush” pink, and “lavender” pink. It wasn’t working until I pulled it all together with the flowers. Your tip for the day is to mix and match, use what you have, and if it doesn’t work, go buy yourself some fresh flowers. #dishhoarderproblems

This White Chocolate Mocha was delicious! In fact, it was as good or better than I could have gotten at a coffee shop (and I didn’t have to leave the house). What’s your favorite coffee shop drink?

White Chocolate Sauce
•3-4 TBSP white chocolate chips
•1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
•½ cup low-fat (2%)milk
. . . . . . .
•Using a milk frother, add low-fat milk and condensed milk. Heat until hot and frothy.
•If you don’t have a frother, combine milk and condensed milk in a small saucepan. Heat slowly until hot, but not boiling. Stir regularly to prevent scorching.
•Add chocolate chips to hot milk, stir until melted and well combined.

White Chocolate Mocha
•Into a favorite mug, pour in a shot of espresso. Add a second shot if you prefer it stronger.
•Add (hot) White Chocolate Sauce to fill cup.
•Top with whipped cream (and sprinkles).

Sometimes a simple charcuterie board and a glass of bubbly (sparkly cider or champagne) is the perfect dinner! Fill your charcuterie board with your favorite meats, cheeses, veggies, nuts, breads or crackers, and few sweets and enjoy a quiet Valentines at home with those you love!

We are experiencing some crazy storms lately! Our poor town has been battered with wind, rain, and flooding! It’s days like this when I’m thankful for family, a warm house, and a stocked pantry! If you’re looking for an easy and delicious soup, try my go-to Tortilla Soup! You can make it stovetop or in a slow cooker (like I did today). Click the link in my profile to get to the recipe.
🥣🌧️ 🥣🌧️🥣
Enjoy and stay safe my friends!
