Years may pass with their associated changes, but there’s one thing that remains constant….dinner at home on Valentine Day. How that started is told here. Actually, I don’t mind this night at home because it’s a way for me to say thank you to the man who has given me so much that makes life very special.
Over the years nothing much has changed except for the table where we enjoy the meal. I like the tradition of using the same things year after year as it’s the only time the hearts make an appearance.
Not so the centerpiece. Each year I try to do something that adds a new twist to the table. I found this cute little mailbox at Target and by adding flowers and chocolate the something new is created.
Nothing says Be Mine better than hearts and flowers.
Dinner may again be the veal chop that is part of our tradition, and dessert is going to be my attempt to duplicate the cute heart shaped brownies shared by Pinch of Yum. No way can you go wrong with chocolate and caramel!
While the brownies are baking, I think I’ll take time out for a glass of wine. It is after 5!
i so appreciate your visit and the comments you leave behind

Your special meal sounds wonderful and the brownies look delicious! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Those cookies look far too good. I’d have them all eaten at once, Linda. Table setting – BEAUTIFUL!
Mmmm looks lovely Lulu! Enjoy!
Your heart dishes and new mailbox are delightful Linda, have a lovely evening!
I agree a Valentine dinner at home is great. Those chocolate cookies look yummy. 🙂
It’s so much easier to enjoy a Valentine meal at home. Well, it would be easier if you had a sous chef and a clean up crew. I’ll have to go back and read the story. Those heart shaped brownies look real good. Happy Valentine’s day to you and yours.
Happy Valentine to you and Phil. Love your special celebration table and menu.
I loved the story, and for sure, how it all started! Happy Valentine’s Day!
What a special tradition. Happy Valentine’s Day to both of you!
Very nice…….:)
