Our Valentine’s Dinner In

By 33 Comments

Wellll, another Valentine’s Day come and gone, but I’m very tempted to say that it may just have been one of my favorites!

After we poured ourselves a little champagne from our $4.99 bottle (I don’t care what they say…the cheap stuff ROCKS!)

We got to work on dinner. I took care of the main course, while Jay handled our side dish, and I definitely gave both of us two thumbs up! Thumbs upThumbs up

Jay made another batch of his glorious garlic green beans.

And I searched through my recipes page until I finally found something I wanted to make:

Ricotta, Spinach, & Sun-Dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken

This is definitely a great mid-week meal, and looks like it could be a lot more complicated to make than it really is.

The pieces were pretty large, so I immediately cut mine I half, and saved it for another time.

I couldn’t fill up solely on dinner…there was dessert to be had! Open-mouthed smile

We did it! We successfully held off on eating our goodies until last night, and I can honestly say it was totally worth the wait.

Chocolate + Caramel Apple with festive sprinkles

Dark Chocolate Covered Rice Krispy Treat topped with mini Peanut Butter Cups (which has now got me thinking I need to experiment a little more with these at home!)

Jay and I definitely dominated our goodies in no time flat. Absolutely incredible!

As you can see, there was a strict dress code for last night’s Valentine’s dinner in: Cozies ONLY! Winking smile

And pretty shortly after finishing our sugar-laden treats, we ended up on the couch looking a lot like this guy…

I also got a really FUN surprise from the hubby, which was DEFINITELY a surprise seeing as though we don’t usually do much more than buy each other a card for V-Day…

But I’ll have to fill ya’ll in on that later tonight because I’m rushing out the door! Open-mouthed smile

Question for the Day:

What would be your favorite caramel apple topping combo??

Oreos? Nuts? Oodles and oodles of chocolate?? Winking smile

  10. I loveeeeee sun dried tomatoes! I discovered my love for them this summer, and ever since, I will practically order anything on the menu at restaurants that has sun dried tomatoes, lol. I will definitely have to try to make that yummy chicken :)

  11. Quick unrelated question Courtney, I have been sick for three days and havent been able to get a workout in (I'm literally tied to my couch) I'm going stir-crazy do you have tips about not working out while sick? Its driving me nuts!

    • Awww no, I'm so sorry! :( Usually when it comes to working out when I'm sick, I try to gauge just how much physical activity I can handle. Although, since you said you're tied to your couch, it sounds like you should still be taking it easy! Until you're starting to feel better, maybe you could try a few yoga stretches? A couple other favorites of mine, which are low impact are chair dips, ab contractions (do it while you're sitting on the couch!) or leg lifts on the floor. It's not much, but until you're feeling better, will hopefully help with the stir-craziness! Feel better!!!

  16. That dessert looks delish!! I hope you recreate something like that ;) This is totally random but I thought of you the other day when at Trader Joe's I saw that they came out with a Peanut Butter cream cheese!!! Just like the Pumpkin cream cheese you had gotten only this is with peanut butter! It's so delicious and it has little bits of peanuts in it. If you can get to a TJ's soon I suggest you try it! :)

    • OH.MY.GOSH. I REALLY wish I had a TJ's nearby because that sounds AMAZING!!! Perhaps we could work out a trade?!? ;)

      • It is so amazing and I would love to work out a trade with you!!! It's absolutely delicious and because you're a lover of PB like me, I know how much you'd appreciate it and you must try it, so I would be more than happy to ship a couple to you!! ;) Email me at shaylacarin@yahoo.com or send me a message on Facebook (I'm a friend of yours) so we can work out the deets!

  23. Looks like a great night! I don't know if I've ever seen champagne that cheap? I think it's usually been at least 8 dollars? I prefer sparkling grape juice it's $2.99!

  • The perfect end to a great birthday with my favorite people.🤗🎉💙
  • Man, time flies! 10 years ago today, we said “I do” and partied our faces off all night long. A whole lot has changed over the past decade, but one thing remains the same...you are still one lucky man @jhoran1314 😜 . Thank you for always putting up with my crap, for being an amazing dad to our boys, and helping me be the best version of me. These past 10 years have been awesome, and fun, and hard, and so rewarding...but we’re just getting started. 😉 Love you more than you’ll ever know 😘 . #10thweddinganniversary #anniversary #highschoolsweethearts #weddinganniversary #bestisyettocome
  • Merry Christmas from The Horan Fam! 🎄🎅🏻😍✨
  • In an effort to help teach the boys that Christmas is about so much more than just what’s under the tree, we set out this morning to spread some kindness and holiday cheer 🎅🏻💕 . We made stops at both Brinley’s Bags and @rmhc_albany, met some wonderful and caring people, and donated some items from each of their wish lists. . While I’d love to say the boys really got it, they were still fairly impartial to the whole thing. But I can absolutely say that I think we’ve found a new Christmas Eve tradition, and I can only hope that, with time, they’ll be as excited about it as I am 🤗 #MOK19 #spreadcheer #spreadkindness #christmaseve #brinleysbags #rmhc #seasonofgiving
