Love is in the Air - Every Day!
(Family Features)
C
hocolates? Roses? Been there, done that. Everyone wants to make sure the
special someone in their lives knows how much they care. Here are some
easy and fun ways to prove that he or she is number one in your book.
Make a Playlist of “Your Songs”
Whether it was playing when you first met or is the soundtrack to your favorite
movie, every couple has songs that mean something special to them. In the car, leave
a CD or MP3 player stocked with your most memorable tunes as a special surprise
and a suddenly-better commute.
Do the house chores. Seriously.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
In small pot over low heat, melt 1/2 cup of butter and 4 ounces of dark chocolate
together until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, and whisk to combine after each addition.
Add sugar and vanilla and stir to combine.
Add flour, cocoa powder and salt and stir until smooth.
Transfer batter into a 9 x 9 aluminum foil lined baking pan and place it into the
oven for 25 minutes and bake until done.
While brownies are baking, melt together semisweet chocolate and 1 tablespoon of
unsalted butter for the glaze. Once melted, set aside.
When brownies are done, let them cool.
Fix that item you’ve been saying you would fix forever. Empty the dishwasher and
clean the bathroom. When they get home, have all the chores done, that way the
only thing left to do is enjoy each other’s company.
Put Pen to Paper
Hide little notes with heartfelt sentiments on the refrigerator, on the nightstand,
taped to the computer screen - any place they might stumble upon it throughout a
typical day. Your note might be found after a long meeting or last-minute deadline,
providing a moment of reprieve and happiness during a hectic day.
Raise a Glass and Indulge - Together
Toast each other with some tasty treats. Pop some bubbly, then enjoy mixing these
recipes together.
