THE DAY OF LOVE!

Hi friends! Christina here. So in the spirit of our most recent holiday, I just thought I would share with you how our little family celebrated the day of love.

First Vivian and I had a photo shoot. It was so much fun. We made some heart streamers together then went outside and just started clicking a way. Here are some of my favorites!

Trey and I also had a Valentines dinner to go to. It was hosted by two of my most favorite people, Brad and Jamal.  Their dinner parties are always spectacular, darling.  (said in my horrible attempt of a British accent) Brad usually takes care of dessert, however, it was my turn this time. One of our friends is allergic to dairy, so I had to think outside of the typical cakes, cookies, pies, etc... So instead I made.... DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!! A mixed berry mint sorbet! It was so much fun to make. And if I must brag, it turned out great. Mainly just because it was not a total disaster. And it helps that it was edible.

Here are the steps that I followed.

1.) Put your 9 inch cake pan in the freezer.

2.) Put your frozen fruit and your mint in a sauce pan. Put on medium heat. Cook for about 15 minutes, just long enough for the fruit to get heated through and soft, and also to allow the mint to infuse.

3.) Blend your fruit/mint mixture in your food processor. This is when you add your sugar. For every four cups of fruit at one cup of sugar.

4.) Take the fruit/mint mixture and strain it through a sieve                                                                     strainer. what is left over is your sorbet.

5.) Pull your cake pan out of the freezer and pour in your sorbet. Put in the freezer on a shelf.
There you go!!!

Here are some photos of our dinner party. We had such a great time!!!
