Valentine’s I.O.U.
So I may be a bad girlfriend. Due to my big organic chemistry test today, I spent the entirety of this past weekend studying, meaning Valentine’s plans went by the wayside. I picked out Seth’s Valentine’s card weeks ago…as for the menu planning and cooking I meant to do? Not so much.
However, I have promised an “I.O.U,” of sorts, in that I have a celebratory meal planned for this coming weekend. Stay tuned for the foodie deets:)
How are you spending your Valentine’s Day? I plan on spending the remainder of the evening with revising a paper and munching pink and red M&Ms.
Onto the eats.
I made a nod to the holiday this morning with chocolate-covered strawberries…in oatmeal form. Truthfully, it was just like my Almond Joy Oatmeal, except I substituted freeze-dried strawberries for the almonds.
In between classes, I munched on Tomato-Basil Hummus.
Once home from my looong day, I resorted to my friend Annie for dinner.
With that, I bid you good night!

I love Annie’s Mac and cheese with peas – I’ve never tried edamame.
Looks delicious!
Annie is a lifesaver! Hope your I.O.U. plans are fabulous!
Also, you won an award on my blog
I hope you test went well. I like the idea of putting edamame in the mac and cheese! I have a late class tonight so I might just try that when I get home.
Good idea to use edamame to bump up the protein!
I love Annie’s… It’s almost like healthy boxed mac ‘n’ cheese~. I spent my Valentine’s Day… not doing anything special in particular! Lame? I don’t know, but I don’t like Hallmark holidays like Valentine’s Day so big deal… People should be open to telling their loved ones “I love you” all year round!
Have you written your organic chem test already then?! How was it? All the best wishes for ya, and hope the weekend comes faster – so you can get some relaxation time in!
Its hard to celebrate Valentine’s day when its during the week!! I’m sure Seth totally understands. Annie’s mac n cheese! So good for a quick dinner. Josh and I did a little celebrating ourselves, but nothing crazy! He did get me one of my favorite candies though (will post about it tomorrow morning
).
Your hummus looks delish!
