Love Bite #15: Poem-Love Is by Nikki Giovanni

Morning, today I want to share a love poem that made me smile deep down inside and remind me of me & my love!

Love Bite #15: Poem-Love Is by Nikki Giovanni

Love Is

Some people forget that love is

tucking you in and kissing you "Good night"

no matter how young or old you are

Some people don't remember that love is

listening and laughing and asking questions

no matter what your age

Few recognize that love is

commitment    responsibility   no fun at all

unless

Love is

You and me

Love Bite #14: Valentine's Day Recap!! :-)

Hello! Today I want to share with you all what my love and I did for Valentine's Day! During the Valentine's Love Bite's I shared a 3 Course Dinner Recipe and well, I put it into action for my love!

Love Bite #14: Valentine's Day Recap!! :-)

Being that I am a college student and love my bf very much I wanted to show him by cooking a beautiful dinner! I started by shopping for the food. Now I gave you all a price list of $30.00 for the dinner, but I actually paid $22.00!! <$8.00 savings>

My greatest saving was the two Filet Steaks 1 1/2 inches thick for $3.21 from Shoprite!! I marinated the steak in Red Wine for 4 hours, along with a garlic & basil mix, adobo, and then right before I cooked it I patted it down with the salt & pepper like the recipe instructed. ((It only took 10 minutes to cook!)) And Oh My it came out AMAZiNG!!!! My love, LOVED IT!! :-)

The finished product: Filet Mignon w/ Creamy mashed potatoes & sauteed mixed Vegetables. Cooking this meal also opened my eyes to how good "Dill" is in veggies!! Absolutely yummy! :-) We also enjoyed a Ceaser salad with extra cucumbers!!

So during the week I also blogged about 'creating the mood'! So to create the mood, with the tools I had this is what I came up with! A romantic table setting for two, college-dorm style.

He absolutely loved my little set up!! And I was so thrilled..lol. We enjoyed a tasty meal, great conversation and a very good episode of Law & Order:SVU!!  :-D

Valentine's Day couldn't have been sweeter! So how did you spend your Valentine's Day??

With LOVE,

Love Bite #13: Enjoy!

 Love Bite #13: Enjoy!

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I am so excited because it is about two people and both are able to share how they feel about the other.

If you are single, you can enjoy Valentine's Day too! Go out with the girls that may not have plans either and enjoy a nice dinner together. Buy yourself something that makes you feel great about yourself. 

Whether you are married, dating, or single you can enjoy Valentine's Day!

Love Bite #12: Cards!

Valentine's Day is a great time to tell your significant other just how much you truly care about them. One way to do that is through a card.

Love Bite #12: Cards!

As you know, I love LOVE. One thing that I enjoy doing is going into Hallmark and reading their Valentine's Day cards. They make me think about my love and because there are so many to choose from I always buy two. A funny card and a serious-romantic card. 

Cards are great because they are a great way to express how you feel about the other person. My love has gotten me into blank cards because it is truly your feelings on paper. {My love writes the best cards ever too. :-)} So if you really want to show him or her how you feel, start it off with a great card!!

And it is okay to spend a while in the store trying to pick out the perfect card.

With LOVE,
