Oh…. what fabulous ideas! I’m traveling for Mardi Gras over Valentine’s Day, so I won’t be with my family. I’m pretty sure my hubby will make heart shaped pancakes at home. 🙂
How cool to go to Mardi Gras over Valentine’s Day! We were originally going to do that as well, but it did not end up happening. How was it? You are going to have a blast! Mardi Gras is on of my favorite events to attend yearly!
The pink heart-shaped Valentine’s Day bagels are too cute! I’d love to serve this up for my girls for a special Valentine’s breakfast!
They are definitely super tasty as well! 🙂
I love those bagels. They are so cute
Thanks Debbie! They are tasty too! 🙂
Wow, so many great options. I am not sure what we are doing for Valentine’s Day yet.
Hope you had a great one:) We enjoyed a nice meal at home!
i would love to try a Mexican latte! Sounds delicious
I still have yet to try one myself:)
I would love to try that strawberry dessert! Looks so delicious!
You can never go wrong with strawberries or dessert for that matter. 🙂
Lots of great food choices! Those desserts looks sinfully delicious! 🙂
Thank you! Hope you had a great Valentine’s Day!
Chocolate bar would be my favorite from the list 🙂 Thanks for sharing your ideas and happy Valentine’s Day my friend!
Thank you so much! Hope you make it out to the chocolate place one day soon! It is pretty awesome! 🙂
All of those are great ideas! My friend was just telling me how she loves just going for some coffee with her husband as a quick and inexpensive date. I have not done it yet but that coffee looks so good right now!
That is not a bad idea for a date. We ended up cooking at home this year! Sometimes it just gets too crowded out there on VDay:)
You’ve got a lot of food for thought here. I think it would be nice to have one of those heart cookies (ha! yeah, out of all that great info. I zoned in on the cookies!). 🙂
Love it! Thanks for the comment Rosey.:)
These are some seriously awesome deals, and those bagels are super cute!
Thanks so much for the comment!
What a wonderful selection of gifts and places to go to for this Valentine’s Day. I have to say that those pink, heart shaped bagels caught my eye. Yum! 🙂
Thanks so much for your comment! Hope you had a great holiday! 🙂
I love all these options. I want to restaurant hop to try them all
That sounds like it would be a blast to sample a little something different from each place! 🙂
