Oh Happy {Heart} Day!

Happy HEART day everyone!

I'm not much of a Valentine's Day person, as evident here, but everyone deserves a little love. It doesn't necessarily need to be on a particular day of the year for me, but I'll go with it.

Me and the Mr. have never done much to celebrate this day, but we did incorporate the signature V-day symbol in our meals for the past few days. Ok, not Brian, just me:).

I'm a sucker for love. And for practicing my photog skills on my food. If I only had a better subject than food and my dog. Someday.

Dinner on Friday night. Chicken with vegetables on the grill. Mmm...sweet potatoes.

Saturday night dinner: Heart shaped spinach and feta turkey burgers.

One of my favs about Valentine's Day. Conversation hearts.

Tonight, we cooked dinner together, one of Pioneer Woman's recipes. Three Cheese Stuffed Shells. Pair any pasta with cheese and basil and call it a day. They were super yummy.

 I didn't take too many pics of the entire recipe, because PW's are much better. You can check them out here.

Pasta, the key to my heart.

Dinner wouldn't be complete without wine, of course.

 Cabernet Sauvignon, delish.

We always exchange cards, trying to find the most fitting card for each other. He was spot on this year. I have saved each and every card we have ever exchanged. Someday, when we are old and wrinkly, we will rummage through the box of cards and get a good laugh.

One of the many names I like to call Brian. Somewhere along the lines, he caught on. :) 

And I couldn't forget dessert. Only Brian's fav: Lemon Bars. I pulled this powdered sugar stencil trick also off PW's blog.

Love. Love. Love.

And now, it's half time of the KSU vs. KU game and we are winning. Did you just hear what I said?

We are winning! All I can do from allowing my emotions to rip out of my skin is sit here and blog and try to stay calm. It would seriously be the best V-day present ever.

{Fast forward 1 hour}

OMG! We just won! I can't believe it! What a great ending to Valentine's Day!

Well peeps, I think I might have just changed my mind how I truly feel about this holiday.

Happy heart day to all my fabulous readers! Mine is filled with EXCITEMENT!
