Happy Valentine's Eve!

Me and my little (not really) Chip celebrated Valentine's Day a day early, since he normally goes to dinner with his Dad on Wednesday nights.  A special dinner complete with candles and decorations is a longstanding tradition that we did not want to miss, so Valentine's Eve it is! 


I had the table all set when he got home from school.  
On the menu...Sesame Chicken with Rice Noodles.  
It's a Chip favorite. 
It requires several steps and lots of dishes, but he is worth it! 

For dessert, I made the most delicious chocolate cake recipe from my friend Sheri.  It is called "Grandma Helen's Brownies", but it is really more like a sheet cake.  Regardless of whether it is brownies or a cake, it is scrumptious. 


Hearts are just festive!  


I put a little Valentine treat on Chip's plate.


He thought it was candy, but it was really some cold, hard cash.  
Nothing says I Love You like money.  
Treat yo' self! 


It was a sweet night! 

  💘    I hope you have a beautiful day today!    ðŸ’˜
