So I have a few new loves in my life! Besides my wonderful husband Jared, I have discovered this last week how amazing a pastry cloth can be. It made making cut out cookies so easy. I also mad our Valentine's Day dinner using cooking wine in the pasta sauce, it was so so good. Jared and I spent Valentine's Day having a wonderful dinner and dessert, followed by watching the Olympics. I made a really good pasta with a white wine cream sauce with zucchini, cherry tomatoes, shrimp, fresh basil, garlic, onion and fresh parmesan cheese, I got the recipe from the pioneer women website....I love that website! The dessert was a vanilla bean panna cotta. First of all I did not realize how expensive vanilla beans were, but it was worth it. This was an experiment for me, but it turned out good. You add gelatin so it has a consistency of jello or pudding. I topped it with berries and whipped cream..Delicious! Hope everyone has an amazing Valentines day filled with LOVE!!
