Aldi Product Review: Spinach & Artichoke Appetizers

These little spinach & artichoke bread bowl appetizers were delicious. $1.99 for eight / that's 25 cents apiece. I could probably make them pretty easily from scratch but at that price, they were a special hors d'oeuvres for Valentines home dinner. :)

I also tried these little bacon -wrapped filets... $1.89 for 5 oz. They would probably have been better on the grill. A little tough but very tasty.

Project 52 / Week 7 / True Love

Here are my photos for Project 52, Week 7--True Love. I am #79 if you go to the Project 52 site. My other photos for this project are HERE. What to do with this theme? I had some ideas in my head and finally took a few photos. I had hoped to do some hand holding hand of our wedding rings with my husband but forgot to take the photos last night.

This first photo is of flowers and a sweet mushy card from my husband on Valentines Day morning. After almost 25 years I still love receiving these. There were chocolates and 2 other vases of flowers as well. The heart-shaped photo frame has a picture of us when we were dating back in 1982. :)

This is what I prepared for dinner for the two of us on Valentines evening...

I didn't take the photos below of course, but wanted to include them in this Valentines grouping: The heart-shaped photo, our walk down the aisle on our wedding day and one of my favorite photos of our family of four.

We're all having a Valentines dinner tonight out at a nice restaurant to end Valentines week--an evening with the people I love the most--that's the best Valentines gift of all. :)
