Heart stuffed peppers

26 Replies

Hello & happy Friday friends!
Welcome back to Foodie Friday with  Annmarie and Farrah for our heart themed week!

As you know this week many people celebrated Valentine’s Day! I know it is a gushy holiday but I do love how excited the kids get.  And I am that nanny who makes fun lunches for holidays 😉

This week I focused on loving those around me as well as loving myself.  I got a massage over the weekend.  I took a nap instead of my normal workout one day when I was super exhausted.  I still got in my workouts, but in a few different classes this week. I sent some little notes in the mail to those I love.  I showed kindness to some strangers.  I smiled a lot.  Sometimes we just need to focus on showing love to others instead of focusing on all the hate and tragedy in the world.

I know there are a TON of ways to show love to people in your everyday life.  One of those ways for me involves cooking.  I love to bring meals to people who are in need as well as pour love into the meals I make for my families 🙂  I tend to get a little happy when it comes to making things heart shaped!  {I was also really impressed to see so many other fun heart shaped food items in my feed this week!}
Needless to say, I had fun making fun shaped food this week!
