WHAT’S FOR DINNER | WEEKLY MEAL IDEAS

02/27/2022

I haven’t shared a weekly menu for a few weeks now because…well…I haven’t been cooking regularly. Life has this thing of getting busy and throwing me off of my planned schedule. In an effort to help with time management and to avoid the grocery store as much as possible, I’m giving Home Chef a try again. I first tried it last summer and then paused it in the fall. The holidays came and went and now it’s time to let Home Chef help me with my meal planning/shopping again.

VALENTINE’S | NIGHT IN DATE IDEAS

02/05/2022

I thought it would be fun to come up with some fun at-home couples date ideas for Valentine’s Day instead of the usual dinner out. It’s not only budget friendly, you don’t have to go out into the cold and fight the crowd at your favorite restaurant with all the other people doing the same thing. Instead, start a fire, light a few candles, turn on some music, cook your favorite meal together and maybe try out one of these fun ideas after the kids go to bed. These ideas can easily be tweaked to enjoy with your Galentine’s friends, as well. Everyone deserves to be loved and have fun on Valentine’s Day. COUPLES PAINT NIGHT Grab a few paint supplies and try your hand at creating a work of art. Bonus – if it turns out decent, you can hang it in your home. Paint together on one...
