Passionate Homemaking

What a won­der­ful day to cel­e­brate the won­der­ful love that the Lord has blessed us with! I am so thank­ful for the bless­ing of a godly husband!

What fun to serve a spe­cial break­fast for the hubby! Aaron’s favorite is pan­cakes (we can’t get enough of this won­der­ful recipe!) with peanut butter and maple syrup. I thought of cuting them into the shape of a heart, but didn’t want to waste the deli­cious pan­cakes, so I kind of laid them out in the shape of a heart.

Next, I served him a mug of warm hot cocoa…with a new recipe! It was deli­cious. You should try it. I bought this valen­tine mug last year and wrote a new mes­sage all over it with a per­ma­nent marker.

Hot Cocoa

1 Tbls. cocoa powder
3-4 Tbls rapadura
1/2 cup coconut milk or more

I first mixed the cocoa powder and rapadura together. I then filled the mug half-​way up with coconut milk. Slowly mix in hot water to fill the mug. You may have to add more milk or rapadura to get the flavor you like. I prefer it sweeter myself.

Tonight we are drop­ping off the queen bee at my par­ents and we will come back to the house for a spe­cial dinner for two. Can­dles, martinelli’s and all!

The Menu

Chicken Cordon Bleu (I will be using smoked gouda cheese)
Green Salad (tons of fresh greens this week in our pro­duce bin…been eating them with every meal, prac­ti­cally!)
Dev­iled Eggs
Mashed Potatoes
Choco­late Fondue for dessert w/strawberries, bananas, pears, oranges! (I have been look­ing for­ward to using our fondue pot forever!)

I love you Aaron!

Thank you for your faith­ful dili­gence in pro­vid­ing for our family! I love you for your heart to serve the Lord. I love the way you trea­sure our daugh­ter. I love the way you make me laugh (no one does it the way you do!). I love the way you ten­derly care for me! You are the best gift the Lord has given me!
