Happy Valentineโs Day
Enjoying a cup of tea and you video this morning. The recipe looks so good and easy to put together. Happy Valentines Day.
Happy Valentineโs day Karenโค love it when you share these things with us. Itsโ been a very difficult month for me but every-time I see your videos they just cheer me up girl! โคโค
Really enjoyed thisโค Happy Valentineโs Day ๐
๐ท๐๐ท๐ Happy Valentines Day Karen and Lauren ๐๐ท๐๐ท๐ Love this video, lots of good ideas for staple items to have on hand!! In our town, we have a major wholesale grower of tulips! They ship all over the US, but their tulips are exceptional, large jumbo, feathered, ruffled edges, etc. They allow the public here to purchase so we are so spoiled! Hope both of you have a great week and are enjoying this special day! ๐
Happy Valentines Day! I thoroughly enjoyed this video, would love to see more. Not only am I at a loss at times after doing this for over forty years, my ideas have faded, itโs only my husband and I . Our four children are all married so itโs back to just the two of usโค
Karen, enjoy your Valentine's Day dinner. Your table setting looks inviting….I picked pink tulips at Trader's joes, loved everything you shopped for…๐ฉท
Pasta dish looks delicious, Karen. Happy Valentineโs Day๐
Great video today Karen, I agree having those staple items in our refrigerator and pantry are a must and sure helps with that unexpected company that might arrive. I Definitely will be making that Italian Pasta dish for sure, it looks so good and easy to make and it will make for a quick and easy dinner.
Happy Valentineโs Dayโค
Praying that u are safe from the train derailment & fumes.
I could eat this way all the time. Give me a platter of olives, hot sweet pickles ,charcuterie meats and cheeses… and I am in heaven. This is usually my lunch time fare. I also love olives oils . And I have a thing for mustards… champagne, garlic, hot sweet, stone ground, garlic, dijon. I find the most unique flavors at Home Goods.
The dish looks yummy, thanks for sharing. Would you recommend a good olive oil. Please? Thanks much, take care!!!
Great tips and ideas! Thank you for sharing! โค๏ธ
Blessing Keren, good evening!
Thanks for taking us shopping with you. The fridge and pantry staples was a plus plus to the tour. You canโt go wrong with pasta and cheeses. Please recommend a couple of good olive oils you love to cook with.
Tulips is one of my favorites.
Thanks for sharing!
