Valentine's Day 2011

Rob and I decided not to go out to eat for Valentine's Day, opting to relax at home and cook something delicious.  We made Rachsel Ray Venetian Shrimp and Scallops.  So good!!  For dessert I made Cooking Light Double Chocolate Cupcakes.  The recipe is from a Cooking Light book I have.  It's similar but not exactly the same as the recipe found here.  They looked pretty but were a little dry.  I let Avery lick the spoon, resulting in the pictures from yesterday.





















Rob gave me a very pretty birthstone ring from Olive Bungalow.  The artist handcrafts and designs each piece of jewelry.  The pieces are customizable and very reasonably priced.  This one is yellow topaz (both Rob and my birthstone) with a hammered silver band.  Perhaps I'll receive one with Avery's birthstone (emerald) sometime (*cough* Mother's Day *cough*) soon. 








































We had a great Valentine's Day!
