Noura says
I am hoping to make my husband’s favorite dish for Valentine’s day – It’s Moroccan Fish B’stilla. It’s so yummy and I made it for our anniversary. He loves it but it is a LABOR OF LOVE, bc it’s rather involved, so it’s totally a special occasion kind of dish.
Since my birthday is the next day, I’m thinking I’d like to go out to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse & have a petite filet & some spinach!
Going off to FB & post on my blog!
ps… if you’re interested in the recipe, let me know – I got it to where it’s only 5-7 p+/serving.

Nothing beats chocolate covered Strawberries so I will be making a BIG Batch for my Kids for when they get home from school. Hubs & I are planning to go out w/our Little girl somewhere to eat I am hoping we go to this new little place that just opened that has loads of yummy fruit creations.. I said that sounds like the place for me! O pts. baby! Ha
Ellie says
Just Tweeted about it on @Elliesworld 🙂 Thanks for the chance!
Claire says
It’s my tradition to treat myself to some Ferrero Rocher’s (aka the BEST chocolate ever made). I wouldn’t mind getting a ‘whack-and-unwrap’ chocolate orange though – they are IMPOSSIBLE to find here!!
Julia says
I plan on cooking at home for Valentine’s Day to save money. I’d love to make a lemon flavored chicken or fish with a vegetable and rice pilaf.
Serah Morrissey says
I am spending Valentine’s Day with the most important person in my life – my 7 year old son, Tate, who inspires me every day to eat healthy and exercise so I have a long healthy life with him! Up until January, I used my oven for sweater storage so cooking is very new to me…he encourages me and tells me the food “isn’t so bad for a beginner”. We will be enjoying turkey black bean enchiladas!!
Sarah says
We love to buy fresh strawberries and dip in chocolate pudding! A little lighter than other chocolate at least!
Sarah says
just tweeted about the giveaway!
So excited!
Sarah says

Marcia says
Posted on my status on FB too!
Cellabella says
Those look so delicious!! This V-day, we’re planning on going out to buy some wine with dinner 🙂 Preferably red, to accompany some fresh baked gourmet pizza. Some dessert wouldn’t hurt either 😉

Rhonda says
I was thinking of making chocolate covered strawberries but now I am thinking if I win the mini icecream treats I will make a sundae or banana split, top them with banana’s strawberries, a little carmel sauce and a cherry on top. Got to take advantage of 0 pts+ fruit!! I will be telling my WW coworkers about the giveaway.

Hi Danica! For Valentine’s Day I am making the WW Coconut Shrimp recipe that you shared last week. My husband and I can’t wait to try it. For dessert, I’m thinking of melting some dark chocolate to make a fruit fondue – strawberries, raspberries, apple chunks, etc.
Laura says
DH and I also have our wedding anniversary at the same time as Valentine Day. We’ll have a special meal of filet mignon, the freshest vegetables the farmers market has that day, and a Trader Joe dark chocolate bar (or maybe these special Swann’s treats?). We’ll probably drink most of a bottle of California sparkling wine a.k.a champagne. DH is the best Weight Watcher supporter in the world, and I couldn’t get through a day without him. I’m a lucky woman.

I always make a special meal for my family (just dh and dd) for Val day. One year I made heart shaped meatballs and spaghetti, then we had chocolate fondue, last year we all made heart shaped pizzas together… still fondue for afterwards, it is now sort of a tradition. Not sure what I’ll be cooking this year but there’ll definitely be fondue (with more fruit than choccy for me) 😉
