Being single on Valentines Day

I don't really think about being single.  I saw a coffee mug once that said "I'm a wife whose husband is in heaven".  At this stage of my life dating is not on my bucket list.  Oh, I did try it for a short time but it didn't float my boat.  In my circle of close friends the Widows out number the married ones.  It's just a fact of life the older you get, women seem to last longer.  I am so grateful that I have so many wonderful women in my life.  I'm also very fortunate to have my son sharing my home with me.  Tonight I'll make a nice dinner for us and as a treat for Valentine's Day we'll have dessert.  Nothing very fancy, just some chocolate mousse with raspberries on top.  

It's a very simple recipe that doesn't have a lot of carbs.  I bought a package of Sugar Free Instant chocolate pudding mix.  I replace the chilled milk with half Almond Milk and half heavy cream.  Spoon into some dessert dishes and top with a few fresh raspberries dusted with powdered swerve sweetener.  Chill for a few hours to set and enjoy.

Dinner will be one of our favorite go to's.  I buy a product called Old Neighborhood Shaved steak.  It's available at Stop n Shop and Shop Rite for about $5.00 per package.  It makes enough steak for 4 cheese steak "sandwiches".  The first thing I do is saute a yellow onion in a little olive oil until caramelized.  Then I push the fried onion aside and fry the steak breaking it up as it browns.  Then I add a few slices of American Cheese on top until it melts.  It gets served on Mission Carb Balance Flour Tortillas that I warm.  Sometimes I add saute'd mushrooms as well.  

What ever you are doing on Valentine's Day, add a little extra love for the people that are close to your heart.....life is too short for anything less.   💕💏💋😘
