We have to make two individual ones since we like completely different flavors!\u00a0 His will consist of a variety of meats and mine will consist of fresh mozzarella, spinach and tomatoes! We love doing this together because it allows us to be in the kitchen together but focused on our own meal so we aren&#8217;t running into each other (Did I mention we have a very small kitchen?!)<\/p>\n<p>While the pizzas are in the oven, we will throw together a quick salad for an appetizer and begin on our chocolate fondue dessert&#8230; My mouth is already watering!\u00a0 We&#8217;ll cut up strawberries, pineapple, and angel food cake, and display it with marshmallows (my favorite!) and bananas.\u00a0 This meal is extremely simple and will take us minimal amount of time to prepare, allowing us maximum time to spend together!<\/p>\n<p>February 14th is a day created to celebrate those we love, not necessarily for the man or woman you love!
