I absolutely adore Valentine’s Day! I love the silly cards, all the hearts, and — of course — the pink and red, so I thought it would be fun to host a little V-Day dinner to celebrate my friends and loved ones!

It’s the season of pumpkin spice lattes. And I’ll be honest, I’ve only had a PSL once before! This season, I thought it would be fun to get into making them at home. So I set out to make homemade pumpkin spice syrup that I could use for my coffee and even cocktails.

I don’t know about you, but I grew up in a household where there wasn’t a huge emphasis on healthy snacking, so I usually went for the bag of chips, cookies and cheddar snack type of treat. Although I’ve broadened my horizons to enjoying foods past what I used to eat at recess, I still fill my pantry with Flamin’ Hot Limon Cheetos and Annie’s Cheddar Bunnies from time to time.
