Afternoon y’all! Just a warning, this post is kind of long, but it was a great day that I wanted to capture as much as I could. Here goes…
Yesterday morning, the hubby and I got up so that we could get ready for church. I offered to cook the hubby some breakfast, but he wanted some of his Chipotle leftovers from Saturday. So, I warmed that up for him and worked on his Valentine’s Day surprise.
Breakfast: I had oatmeal cereal (296 cals)

After Lunch today, we decided to drive around the area and see what houses/apts were for rent. Such a cute area! And then when we came home, we decided to head up to the rooftop and just chill out for the rest of the afternoon.

Dinner: I had planned all week to surprise the hubby by making his favorite, Chicken Enchiladas. This morning, before church I put 3 chicken breasts in the crock pot and cut 1/2 a red onion, 2.5 garlic cloves, coriander, salt, pepper, 1 cup of water and red pepper flakes. I also added a can of green chilis after it was done cooking.
I used corn tortillas, stuffed them with the chicken mixture. Place rolled tortillas tightly in a casserole dish and once they were all in the pan, I poured green enchilada sauce over the entire pan and then added shredded cheese over the hubby’s section. Baked for 25 mins @ 400 degrees. Delish!

Here is my Valentine’s Day gift from my hubby…beautiful tulips, a great card and a terrific day spent together.

Before we finished dinner, I gave the hubby his Valentine gift…which I forgot to take a picture of , but it is a take off on the one below from Amber’s Notebook. Except that I used the fun sized versions of Twix, Kit Kats and Almond Joys, because I couldn’t find the Valentine Day ones at my store. But the hubby was so surprised and really liked this idea! I also got him a sweet card.

What a Super Romantic weekend/day I had. It was so great to spend a lot of quality time with the hubby since he’d been out of town for about a week and a half for work!
