Meal Plan Monday - February 13

Last week's menu didn't go at all how I had planned, but I was able to try a few new recipes.  The Raspberry Breakfast Bars were delicious, but they were very sweet and I could not imagine eating them for breakfast.  We've been enjoying them for dessert after dinner.

Mini Frittatas has also become a new favorite recipe.  They were simple and delicious and I only wish I had thought of this idea first!  I added onion and green pepper to ours and next time will add a bit of shredded cheese.

For the past several years my husband and I have celebrated Valentine's Day by enjoying dinner with our family instead of eating out.  Since I love to cook, I enjoy celebrating by making his favorite foods.  Chocolate chip cookies for dessert probably seems too simple to celebrate the holiday, but of all the desserts I have made my husband over the years, they are still his favorite.  This year I will making them extra-special by making chocolate chip cookie hearts.
