1. A Romantic dinner for one? Skinnytaste.com's Chicken Cordon Bleu is my absolute favorite and it's way easier than it looks. The recipe yield 12 pieces, but there ain't nothing wrong with leftovers. The more I make now, the less I have to make later. And if you're the type of person that gets tired of the same thing, you can mix this recipe up with different "fillings."
- 2 ham and Swiss
- 2 prosciutto and provolone
- 2 feta and sun dried tomato
- 2 goat cheese and spinach
- 2 pesto and mozzarella
...coming up with the last one is always the hardest. Oh!
- 2 pepperoni and mozzarella
Get creative with it. And it's chicken so it goes with my favorite white wine. That's number 2...
2. White wine. I don't really drink much, but treating yourself to a glass of wine every now and then does the body and soul good. It helps relieve stress and relaxes the muscles. After a particularly rough week I can actually feel how much stress I've been carrying in my neck. Studies show it's also good for your heart and increases libido, and if that doesn't say Happy Valentine's Day I don't know what does. So with dinner and wine in hand I'm going to light some candles and plop myself in front of my TV. There's number 3.
3. Watching the Notebook. I don't like to cry around people but I'm a mushy girl and I really do love this movie. Perfect me-time entertainment.
4. Mani/Pedi... once I'm finished with dinner of course. Winter has a nasty habit of drying out your hands... especially your cuticles. And even though I won't be wearing any opened toed shoes any time soon, a nice brightly colored pedicure just makes me feel closer to summer and warmth and sunshine.
5. Online shopping. Ohhhh yeah. The best way to love yourself is to treat yourself to something special. I have my eye on these...
And these...
And these...
