I love to spoil my girlfriends.
They mean the world to me and every year around Valentine’s Day I honor them with a party.
desserts & fruit
The last couple of years I have thrown a brunch. If you want a peek at them you can find them here:
this year’s invitation
I try to incorporate something that is a favorite of mine and build around it.
This year it was Mexican food and Conversation(hearts)
a little look-see at the table
I typically do linen napkins when I have a meal like this, but my inner 13 year old got the best of me when I saw the conversation heart napkins and little treat cups!!
The treat boxes were filled with chocolates, and of course, candy hearts!!
My Mom always got my brother and I a box of conversation hearts for Valentine’s Day.
They have always been a favorite of mine.
I made this centerpiece for the table:
If you click HERE you can see how I did it!!
When I planned the menu I forgot that it was the first Friday of Lent.
So I mixed it up a little.
It worked out well.
The Menu::
Bean Cheese and Onion Enchiladas and Chili Rellenos & Rice
Chips and Salsa, Guacamole and lots of toppings!
Jarritos and Iced Tea with Lemon
Fun was had by all….
But you will have to take my word for it, because I totally forgot to take pictures!!
OOPS!!
I was too busy eating!! 😉
If you make this recipe, I’d love to know! Snap a picture, share the photo on social media with the hashtag #AnAffairFromTheHeart – I’d love to see what you made! – Michaela
