Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love

February 14, 2018 by My Farmhouse Table Leave a Comment

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love

Happy Valentine’s Day! A day for love, last minute flower deliveries, and hello… Chocolate! But on today, I try to look past the day as just another Hallmark holiday (It is Ash Wednesday as well!) and focus on my list of Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love.

Valentine's Day 14 Things I Love

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love- Smell of Fresh Baked Bread

There are a lot of smells I have come to love through the years.

Bacon

Coffee

Corn Silage

Freshly Washed Sheets

A Beef Roast that has been slow-cooked all day

And above all… The smell of freshly baked bread!

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love- Laughter

“The Most Wasted of All Days is One Without Laughter” ~ E.E. Cummings

I love to laugh and am happy to say I feel like I do so easily.

I love being the comedian of a group, lightening moods, and hopefully making someone else’s day better.

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love- Cookbooks

My love of cooking also leads me to having a love for cookbooks.

I love small town church cookbooks.

Cookbooks I have picked up from travels.

And of course, my ever loyal arsenal of The Pioneer Woman Cookbooks.

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love- Sunsets

Sunsets

I love how they catch me some evenings off guard. We are all running around with our busy days full of work, activities, cooking, cleaning, and just keeping on.

Sunsets on the Farm

And no matter how difficult the day, I love the feeling I get from an amazing sunset. Like God saying “I know today’s been tough, but here is my promise of a brighter future.”

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love- Cows

I love how each cow has their own personality and quirks.

And I love the curly hair on their heads.

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love- Candles

I love a great candle. The low light flicker, just makes a cold winter day seem a little cozier.

I also love that I can light one and instantly my house smells like a bakery.

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love- Husker Football

Have I mentioned before that I love football?

Flag Football

High School Football

NFL

Or Even Backyard “Football” with family after Thanksgiving.

But the biggest football love is watching my Huskers.

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love- Hand Written Notes

In a world of social media and text messages, a simple hand written note is something I love.

It can be a thank you note, a Happy Birthday wish, or a simple “I Love You” post it note.

Hand Written Notes are something special.

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love- Steak

Christmas Eve, My Birthday, or Sunday Dinners.

A perfectly grilled steak is my family’s go to meal for special occasions or just simple quiet days.

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love- Traveling

I have always loved traveling and this past year made it more of a priority in my life.

Getting out seeing new places, like our trip to Canada…

Or my fall trip to New York, to catch up with a college friend…

With my two trusty travel companions…

Coffee

and my great Samantha Brown bags.

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love- Music

I’ve always been a fan of music and have a wide range of favorite songs, artists, and genres.

George Strait to Ed Sheeran

Bruno Mars to Bob Seger to Aaron Watson and the Eagles.

Last year for Christmas, my parents gave me this guitar. I had always wanted to learn to play, so it was perfect. I’m not saying I’ll be joining a band anytime soon (hello short finger syndrome), but I have yet to find something as relaxing and therapeutic as strumming this guitar.

Also how beautiful is this recent “treat yourself” purchase I made? When you purchase a Sackcloth and Ashes blanket the company donates a second blanket to a local homeless shelter. How awesome is that?

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love- White Dishes

I’ve collected a few different sets of dishes throughout the years, but nothing looks cleaner (and makes prettier blog pictures) than beautiful white dishes.

Also I love oversized mugs. Leaves more room for whipped cream and marshmallows that way.

Valentine’s Day: 14 Things I Love- My Parents

They Are The Best.

Is there anything better then a warm chocolate chi Is there anything better then a warm chocolate chip cookie?

I don’t think so...

That’s why I love to keep a stash of this Frozen Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ready to go!

Just place a couple cookies on a baking sheet, straight from the freezer, and in about 10 minutes, fresh baked cookies are ready to be demolished 🍪

My theme “Double Dinners” is back y’all! T My theme “Double Dinners” is back y’all! 

The concept is this... the recipe makes enough to have a meal now and then a second meal to freeze for a later time. 

Killing two birds with one stone: Stock freezer ✅
Answer the question “What’s for dinner tonight?” ✅

This super simple Chili recipe fits the bill. Few ingredients and quick turnaround make it a winner in my book! 

Serve over hot dogs, Fritos, or (for all my Midwest peeps) beside a cinnamon roll!
