I've never been a big fan of Valentines Day and sometimes don't even celebrate it at all. I guess I'm much more of a "flowers just because" girl than a cliche overpriced V-Day bouquet. However, I do love an excuse to have a nice dinner and bottle
or two of champagne *champs is
always a good idea*. Instead of going out to overcrowded restaurants with pre-fixed menus, H and I have always stayed in and I'll make
fondue and a yummy dessert.
This year, I plan on making....
Fondue
*last year's fondue*
Heart Shaped Cake
*thank you yet again Pinterest*
Almond Champagne
aka the best champagne ever
And we'll enjoy dessert and drinks on the patio by the fire pit. Perfect end to the evening.
How do you like to celebrate?

ReplyDeleteWell since this is our first Vday together he is planning. I think he might cook me dinner (aka more than soup and grilled cheese lol) but I am not sure. I am leaving it up to him!
Aw I love this!! Last year we did a heart shaped cake too! So fun and yummy.. and Champs.. always Champs! =)
ReplyDeletewell this seems like an absolutely perfect way to celebrate!!! champs is always a good ida! and yum! I love fondue!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like my idea of a perfect Valentines Day! I really need to get a fondue set and I'm going to have to keep an eye out for Almond Champs, never heard of it!
ReplyDeleteI'm not the hugest Valentine's Day fan. We typically stay in and make dinner at home.
ReplyDeleteThat heart cake is adorable! I've never tried almond champagne!
ReplyDeleteThe cake came out much bigger than I thought since it's essentially 2 layers laid out flat together, but I love the design and how easy it was!
DeleteYou definitely have to try out the champagne, it tastes like it has a dash of amaretto in it. Sooo good! ;-)
Sounds fantastic. We are staying in this year too and these are great ideas!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome and your fondue recipe looks great! I think we're heading out for beer and chocolate pairing; the perfect night for us ;)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of almond champagne! I've never liked champagne, but I MIGHT like that one. I'll have to remember to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteA fondue dinner is perfect for a romantic Valentine's at home! We actually have a fondue set that's never been used so I need to get on that soon...I also want to try your Almond champagne too. That sounds delish although I'm not a huge champs drinker.
ReplyDeleteHow have I never had almond champagne before? It sounds amazing!
ReplyDeletefondue and champagne. YUM. I have intentions of getting steak takeout, buying a bottle of prosecco, and being my own date! ha
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog on Bloglovin and love it! Great date ideas, especially the heart cake!
ReplyDeleteyum yum yum! we are staying in as well! champagne is on the menu for sure!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE ALMOND CHAMPAGNE.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, it's the most amazing thing ever.
And yes, love fondue, but then I just feel like I have to run a marathon the next day.
It seriously is the best, it tastes like champagne with amaretto in it. YUM! :)
DeleteThat heart shaped cake is so cute!! And I've never actually had fondue but that looks pretty amazing!
