Pizza Night! That’s Amore!
Hopefully when you read that allowed you used a thick Italian accent, if not do it again. Now that you are in the right mood let’s talk date details! This date is pretty self-explanatory.
Supplies:
Pizza Crust
Tomato or Pesto Sauce
Assorted Pizza Toppings
Cheese!
Two Aprons
Wine (Totally Optional)
Crank up the classic Italian music and have some fun. Try some adventurous toppings, and make sure when you are pushing out your pizza dough that you rub a little flour on the surface first, and then maybe on your date’s cheek? Also please remember the theme of the evening, and shape that pizza dough like a heart!
You are the bomb.com! Make Cocoa Bombs!
Nothing will melt your heart more, than sipping cocoa with your honey! Why not take it a step further by making your own sweetheart cocoa bombs?
Supplies:
Heart Silicone mold
Chocolate Wafers for Melting
Sprinkles
White Icing (in tube)
Powdered Cocoa
Mini Marshmallows
Melt a handful of wafers in 30 second increments in the microwave with a tablespoon of coconut oil. Once melted completely, apply a nice layer to the inside of the silicone heart molds. Stick in the freezer for 15 mins, and then move to the fridge overnight. The next day, slowly push the chocolate hearts out of the mold. Fill one side with a couple of teaspoons of cocoa and a few marshmallows. Microwave an empty plate for 25 seconds. Gently touch the other half of the heart to the warm plate so that the heart melts slightly. Attach the melted side to the heart to the other side gently, hold in place for several seconds, and put aside. Once all the hearts have been assembled. Stick them in the freezer for 30 minutes. Then take them out and decorate! You can use them immediately, or if you are saving them, I recommend sticking them back in the freezer. Then you can either wrap them up to give as gifts or enjoy at a later time.
Hike and Brunch!
If you’ve been thinking about going on a hike, google nearby hiking trails and get out there! It’s great one on one time with your honey. You both will be out in the fresh air, admiring nature, and having a great bonding experience. Plus! You won’t feel guilty about having that extra mimosa at brunch. So, when you google a hike, make sure you also google a nearby brunch spot. It’s a great way to find a new local favorite!
Glad I Fondue!
This might be a little cheesy, but I think it’s a great idea. Ha! I’ve never tried fondue, but being a big fan of cheese, and new experiences I thought I would give it a go. Something I’ve found over the years with my significant other, is that sharing new experiences can be a great way to bond and create memories.
Supplies:
Fondue Cheese (I seasoned mine with garlic, chives, salt, and lots of pepper)
Fondue Set (I bought this one)
Assorted food to tip in the cheese (chicken sausage, apple, roasted potato, broccoli, rustic bread)
I also bought some heart shaped bowls, and paired it with a light refreshing sweet cocktail.
Hot Tub and Cocktails!
Fire up the hot tub, and mix up a few cocktails. Date nights can be that easy! Imagine this, it has been a long week; you come home, throw some cheese, salami, crackers, a few spreads on a plate, mix up a few cocktails, and fire up the jacuzzi. Then spend a couple hours snacking and chatting with your honey. You can recap the highlights and lowlights of the week in a warm bubbling bliss.
Movie Night!
Go to a fancy theatre to see a new movie, or stay in for a Rom Com-a thon! Make things more exciting by creating a fun snack board, and playing a game or two!
