It's that time of the year again.
The one day where it is acceptable to be cheesy and romantic, and the one day everyone simply loves each other. Even though my friends still make fun of me, I love celebrating Valentine's Day in every way possible. The apartment is decorated, the chocolates are set out, the desserts are made and I am sitting here in my Valentine's pajamas... I am ready. This year, the festivities started last night when we had our friends over to our apartment for dessert and wine. Everyone had to pair up and bring a Valentine's dessert that they found on Pinterest. We also asked that everyone wear their Valentine's gear, but that didn't work out so well.
Before everyone came over, a few of us spent the afternoon baking and creating. Brenna and I chose to make chocolate chip blondies, which neither of us had ever made before. We didn't cook them all the way through, but they still turned out pretty good, and they were even better when paired with vanilla ice cream. The recipe is very simple, but I will post it soon. Cara and Paige came over to bake as well. While Paige made some adorable pretzel buttons, Cara took a stab at making red velvet crinkle cookies, and man were they good. Probably my favorite dessert of the night. She will be posting the recipe here soon.
