Valentine's Day

So we didn't do much today because Shane worked last night and the boys are at their moms for the weekend. But I fixed Shane one of his favorite meals. He went to Germany on his mission and loves some of the food from there. He found this great recipe for some German food. We have made it a few times, but I decided since he had to work tonight that I would make something special for him. So I got to cooking this afternoon.

One of the dishes takes about 3 hours and the other one is about an hour and a half. So you have to time it. It is called Beef Roulade and Rot Kohl. Rot Kohl is red cabbage with bacon, onions and apples. It is all cooked together for 3 hours. Trust me, it is really good. Beef Roulade is flank steak with Dijon mustard, bacon, onions and pickles. You roll all the ingredients up inside the flank steak and cook it in the oven. I boiled some red potatoes and served them with everything else. It turned out really good and Shane was happy.

Shane got ready for work and we (Owen and I) got our shoes on and met Shane for some ice cream to end the night. After that, Owen and I came home and I had to make cookies. I pulled out Kerstin's famous sugar cookie recipe and made some yummy cookies. Now just getting Owen ready for bed so I can call it a day.

Wasn't a typical Valentine's day, but it was nice to spend time with the men in my life and let them know how much I love them. I hope that everyone had a great day and that they could spend it with the ones they love.
