However, today marks 1 month until mine and Dave's wedding. Whoa! So to make today special I am going crazy with hearts and anything red and pink! To top it off, I have tried to keep it as healthy as possible (with a few splurges). Afterall, I have a tight dress and a honeymoon bikini to rock in 1 month!
This morning I surprised D with breakfast in bed. Which means I get to eat in bed too...score! I used this Perfect Fit recipe from the makers of Tone It Up for the cinnamon rolls. I had never made them before but I can say they are delicious. I promise you won't miss the sugar high from a traditional cinnamon roll :) To make the heart shape simple roll each end of your cinnamon roll "strips" toward each other to meet in the middle. I topped ours with a little vanilla greek yogurt and served with a side of homemade chocolate covered strawberries. There were mimosas too off course (do you know me?!).
For lunch we are having Michael Symon's Beet and Goat Cheese Raviolis. Hello, they are PINK! Perfect for Valentine's Day!! I loved that he used wonton wrappers for these so I didn't have to make homemade pasta dough. Don't get me wrong, I am the kind of crazy to make my own, but I just wasn't feeling it. Since I was using more indulgent ingredients I try to make the best of them so I am using locally sourced goat cheese and butter. I will be serving these with extra goat cheese drizzled with local honey and chives and with some baguette slices. Bread is not evil if it is a treat :) This lunch is more of a splurge meal, but it is all in moderation. You can have treats if you are eating well the other 95% of the time! It is all about balance, people!
I hope you are feeling the love today whether you are showing yourself some love or receiving it from someone else. You are loved by me!
xoxo,
Brittany
