The reason why I haven't posted in a while is because of this:

Yes, the Relief Society Valentine's Dinner. It kept me busy all week. We had cheesy bread and salads as our first course.

Followed by Pesto Pasta with grilled chicken topped with a cheese heart.

After 80 cheese hearts and 85 waffle cones, Wendy (my enrichment leader) and I were exhausted, but the results were well worth it. Aren't they pretty?

Our dessert was a homemade waffle cone with one scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with fresh strawberry puree, whipped cream with a pinch of coca powder, and a heart-shaped cinnamon cracker. This was my favorite part of the whole night!

Next month is the Relief Society's birthday so we are throwing a party for the Relief Society sisters. Should be fun!
I love the dinner and all the extras. It looks beautiful. I need to get your waffle cone recipe for our march enrichment. Our theme is "Life...with a cherry on top." And yes, I got the inspiration from your blog title!
