Hearts for Dinner

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching and my sweets kick I seem to be on, I though I would bring you a perfect recipe for this weekend. Especially if you’re staying in and cooking for someone.

I’ve made pasta before but one thing I’ve always wanted to make and never did was chocolate pasta. I opted for ravioli because I wanted to attempt making it heart shaped. It’s a fun way to celebrate the holiday!

what you need:

what you do:

  1. In a mixer combine flour and cocoa

  2. Make a well in the middle and add eggs

  3. Slowly add in the water while the mixer is running

  4. Attach a dough hook and knead until smooth

  5. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and let sit for 20 minutes

After that, just make the type of pasta you’d like. I cut out hearts, and filled the ravioli. I pressed the ravioli together with a fork. Then I added the ravioli to boiling water. They are done when they come to the top. I also served with strawberry sauce.

MK loves cannolis so for the filling I used a combination of ricotta cheese, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and mini chocolate chips.

Happy Thursday! Hope it’s full of fun!

Happy Valentine’s Week!

Usually this is the post I reserve for this time of year to talk all about skivvies. A favorite topic of mine. On this fine Tuesday, I’m talking about three pieces you should have in your lingerie collection.

  1. A perfect well fitting bodysuit in a neutral color that goes with everything.

    For me, it’s a black one. I have a ton. Wearing them under a blazer if my favorite look but you can also wear it with a blouse or just under a cozy cropped sweatshirt.

2. The perfect set. Matching bra and undies.

For me, few things make me feel like I have my act together than this. The foundation of a good outfit. Even if you’re the only one who sees it.

3. Shape wear!

Ok we don’t need a photo of this one. It’s is not so sexy however it makes so much of a difference! Invest in it. Wear it. A smooth look will always look better no matter what your size. I love my shape wear slips for dresses.

I enjoy having a fabulous amount of nice lingerie.

Now go out there and seize the day!

Even if it’s a Tuesday (I’m not a fan of them)…

Happy Friday!

Who’s ready for a drink?…

With Valentine’s Day being next weekend, I thought my next two drink recipes should follow that theme. I think I’ve come to realize that so many of my favorite drink recipes are ones that have some bubbles.

This recipe is simple and a tad different. Simply add everything but the Rosé to a cocktail shaker full of ice and shake, shake! Strain into two glasses and top with Rosé.

enjoy!

This is a great drink to make if you’re staying in for Valentine’s Day! We love to stay in for Vday but MK has something planned for this one. All I know is it will be our first totally kid free date night in a year!

Have a fantastic weekend!
