Valentine’s Dinner For My Husband And Our 5 Boys

In our home we celebrate Valentine’s Day as a family. We started this tradition years ago as a military family that didn’t have a baby sitter. We plan the day as a family and me and my husband make sure we get some alone time after. This consists of full body massages, games, etc and this year we played #letstalklove for the first time and we had a wonderful time!!!!

Mac & Cheese

1 box (l LB) Elbow Pasta

8oz Mozzarella

8oz Fiesta pepper jack

8oz Sharp cheddar jack

8 oz bag Mac and cheese cheese

8 oz Seriously sharp cheddar

8 oz Gouda ( regular not smoked)

3 cups heavy whipping cream

2 tbs butter

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 tsp Tony’s Creole

1/8 tsp Adobo Goya

Better Than Bouillon Chicken (flavor pasta water)

Bake 425 F until golden brown (5-15mins)

Valentine's Day is a wonderful opportunity to bond with family and create lasting memories. As families come together, delicious meals play a central role in these traditions. A heartwarming dinner can include fun activities and special recipes that everyone can enjoy. For instance, our creamy mac & cheese recipe, featuring multiple cheeses and a rich creamy base, is a family favorite that brings smiles to our table. Consider incorporating themed activities for your family celebration. Games and crafts can enhance the evening, creating an atmosphere of joy and togetherness. Also, if you're looking to surprise your loved ones, think about special dinner settings with personalized touches to elevate the dining experience. Candlelight, seasonal decorations, or even handmade cards can add a unique charm to your Valentine's celebration. Remember that the essence of Valentine's Day lies in expressing love and appreciation towards each other, whether through heartfelt words or delicious meals shared together.
