Valentine’s Day Menu Ideas

Today’s Post: Valentine’s Day Menu Ideas!

Hello, you.

One of the things I am working through right now in my relationship with food is how much being a FOOD ENABLER has been wrapped up in my identity. I have made a business of wooing you with food. How do I do it?

Editing and presentation.

A deep love for food.

Growing up Italian.

Learning how to love through food.

Understanding indulgences and how to entertain them.

Valentine’s Day is next week. Let me show you how to love/seduce someone with food.

Cue the music….

First, find out what they like. Make a note of it. Learn how to make it. Make it special.

How do you make things special?

Save the big guns for special occasions like Valentine’s Day when you really want to impress.

I’ve got some big guns.

It rained alllllll weekend long here. I did meal prep! I gotta take photos of it! It’s late and I gotta shower before bed so I gotta keep this brief!!

Oh, quick announcement!

This weekend we are doing a pop-up workshop! It’s not too late to set intentions for the year.

My Everyday Life Week 5

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 5

January is down! I kept track of my workouts as per usual with my monthly printable. Not working out for three days last week (due to having a cold) amped up my anxiety. It was a reminder how much my mental health benefits from regular movement! You can read more about my workout routine here.

Here are my January pages in my Currently Workbook! You can read the whole post on my substack here.

This week I added a digital download of my currently workbook!

Print it out and join the handwriting club!

Shipping out some Intentions for the Week Planners. It’s not too late to start them.

I haven’t started one for the year. Maybe I’ll do it? Maybe we can do it together?

I had such an ordeal getting them printed properly this year and I AM TRYING NOT TO BE BITTER ABOUT IT.

Anywho. It’s a system that works for me. I just need to do it.

Every year something changes in my Currently Workbook. This year I added a colored pencil!

Lime Sorbet

If you have limes and sugar, you can easily make Lime Sorbet. Did you know that?

It’s a good thing to know if you are stuck at home with a sick child who has a sore throat and you want to give them relief and a treat.

It’s quite a palette cleanser, let me tell you! I bet it would be really good in a frozen beverage too.

It’s begging for a little ginger beer poured on top.
