The Day of Love

So... I'm not a Valentine's Day kinda girl. Don't get me wrong, I want to spend time with my love on that day but I can do without flowers (roses especially) and dinner. I'd rather Kev get me flowers just because and he does quiet often. I don't understand why every other holiday stores put merchandise on sale, but on Valentines Day they jack up the prices of flowers. The same roses you could have gotten last week for $50 are now $150. That's just ridiculous. As far a going out for dinner, I used to wait tables in college and I absolutely HATED Valentines Day. You have everyone who NEVERS goes out to eat in a restaurant. You have to wait hours to eat at a place that usually doesn't have a wait time at all or a very little one.

All that being said we had a VERY low key Valentine's Day. After school I came straight home and started on his Valentines Day cake. A Red Velvet Poke Cake. Then I rushed across town to get my hair cut. When Kev got home from work, we did our hour of P90X. Yes, we sweated together on Valentines Day! I threw together a salad and a Bertolli pasta dinner along with garlic bread. We cuddled on the couch and watched our Thursday night shows. We exchanged very sweet cards and that was our night. I wouldn't have asked for anything more! We show each other we love each other every day, We do sweet things for each other just because. We don't have to have a day set aside for that. And that is how I like it!

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Inspired by Pinterest

I've been wanting to try these Chicken Lasagna Roll-ups I found on Pinterest. Since Kev's been working out of town, I figured it would be a great dish for this week. I could keep some and he could take the rest with him. (I also made Mexican Cornbread too.) Eating out every meal gets old. Anyways. Here is the original recipe. I changed it up some. I mixed together 15 oz. ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, egg, thawed frozen spinach (squeeze water out of it), and chicken (I always use a rotisserie chicken). Seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic, and a little Italian seasoning. I never measure, just add a palmful until it tastes like I want it to.  Mixture I grabbed a handful of the mixture and spread it onto the noodle and rolled it up. Leave a little space at the end so the mixture doesn't gush out when you roll it up. Once all of them are made, I poured the  tomato sauce  I made yesterday over them. I added a little water to my sauce to thin it o...

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!
