St. Valentine's Day 2012

For Valentin'es Day dinner I made a new crockpot recipe. I was excited about it because it had a ton of vegetables including beets (my favorite). It was a Beef Goulash that you can prepare ahead, freeze and then put in the crockpot. Brent was less than please when he went grocery shopping and the beets were $8. It was a very average meal but I wanted to make it special for Valentine's day so I cut the beets and peppers in heart shapes and had the kids try and find them in their dish. For dessert I made a homemade ice cream cake with York peppermint patties.

 This is what I did on Valentine's Day night... Brent was out of town so I made a few reusable snack bags....
