Soooo, it’s Valentine’s Day, and even though hubby and I don’t celebrate with overpriced flowers and chocolates, we do still have a special home cooked dinner planned for this evening.
That being said, my special Valentine deserves all of my attention tonight, so I’m going to give you all a quick recap of today’s eats. I mean, I can’t totally leave you all hangin’ – I think of all of YOU as my valentines, too!
Breakfast
Quaker Oatmeal Squares + Multigrain Cheerios + banana slices + vanilla almond milk
Along with my always-predictable mug-o-joe.
Lunch
A veggie-licious salad (aka, whatever we had left in the fridge…today was grocery day)
In here we got some romaine, broccoli, roasted red peppers, and a crumbled up Morningstar Farms veggie burger (which I think must have had carrots in it…it left my tummy grumblin…)
Topped with a dollop of roasted red pepper hommus – a perfect substitute for salad dressing! It makes everything so nice and creamy.
Some 3:00 snackage. By the way…this Black Cherry Chobani is killerrrrrr!
I’m so glad I had this to help keep me from indulging in the enormous amount of ice cream sundaes that were happening in my classroom for Valentine’s Day. I am happy to say that I was able to resist 100%. Now that’s a victory if I do say so myself!
But now if you’ll excuse me, I’m pretty sure I just heard a champagne bottle pop…
Oh boy, would you look at that…I sure did hear some bubbly!
Tonight’s gonna be a good night!!
I’ll be sure to fill ya’ll in on our special dinner tomorrow.
Happy Valentine’s Day to all my special Valentines out there!

I hope you & Jay have a wonderful night!
Kristen @ That Hoosier Girl says
I hadn’t even thought about champagne! How fun! I think we actually have some on hand that we just couldn’t think of a good occasion to pop open. I think Valentine’s Day qualifies :)
Melissa says

Hope you & Jay had a wonderful evening together!

Courtney says
That’s AWESOME!! I had seen comments floating around on Twitter that there was someone in a Chobani commercial, but I had no idea it was YOU!! Congrats!
Hey, any way you could hint to them that there’s another fellow Chobani lover out here that wants in on the fun!?!? ;)

Love reading your blog daily!
Your valentines night looks perfect.
Random q for ya: do you measure your cereal for serving sizes?
Courtney says
I absolutely do – otherwise, I’d probably be eating at least 4 servings at a time!
