We are two weeks away from one of my very favorite holidays. I love, seriously love, Valentine's Day. We have talked about this before...

I adored this pink-hued holiday. Valentine or no valentine, it is always a happy and welcome excuse to fellowship with some of my favorite ladies, eat chocolate by the handful, and top everything with pink whipped cream.

So, when World Market approached me with the idea of throwing a "Galentine's Day Party," I could not pass up the chance to share one of my favorite traditions.

This year, however, I revamped my menu, replacing frozen yogurt with a decadent crepe bar, and one of the best things to ever come out of my blender - Frozen Red Velvet Hot Chocolate!

You can find all the party details and recipes here. Based upon the amount of laughter and empty glasses, I would say that this party was a wonderful success. Of course, much of that was likely due to the Nutella. Party. Starter.

Whether you have a sweetheart or not, I hope you are able to take some time to pamper yourself and your favorite ladies for an evening. Happy Valentine's Day, friends!

Sincerely,

Pedantic Foodie
