Candlelit Dinner For One and a Half

Table for one and a half please!

So here is what I do to treat myself on occasion! The effort and preparation to create a delectable and beautiful candlelit dinner is so worth it! It really feels like I just ordered a $25 dinner in a fancy restaurant, complete with a cocktail.

Often when I am trying to figure out what to feed the kids for dinner, I just eat whatever they are eating. Sometimes it is peanut butter and jelly or even cereal. It is actually pretty rare that I make a full dinner, including salad. The boys won’t eat salad, so taking the extra time to prepare a salad for myself can by trying when they are just screaming for their own food.

Often I just say forget it, and forgo the greens. While it seems I am okay with it, inside I am really wanting that salad! I deserve to eat the healthy foods that I really want to eat, and it is worth it to go the extra mile for ME. 

So tonight I did! Every was out with his dad, so little Kenny and I enjoyed this fancy dinner together.
