Cheers to another week! This year really is flying by so quickly, before we know it it'll be summer again!
I flew back on Friday after a lovely but hectic week in Trinidad visiting friends and family. I got home to find some pretty red roses waiting for me.
K and I had planned to celebrate Valentine's on Friday night but I was too tired from traveling so we went out for a quick dinner (and a cocktail) and had an early night.
On Saturday, I was feeling refreshed so we went out in the evening to celebrate our Valentine's Day. We went to see Identity Thief which was pretty funny. Not as hilarious as I thought it would be but still worth seeing.
After the movie we went to a Spanish Tapas restaurant for some sangria, delicious food, live music and Spanish dancing.
On Sunday, we did some errands and layed low at home.
I also tried my hand at making a Cherry cheesecake. I used to make cheesecakes all the time and ran across my old recipe book from high school while I was visiting my parents in Trinidad.
Cherry Cheesecake Ingredients:
3 packages of cream cheese
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups vanilla cookies
3 tbsp butter
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Mix cookie crumbs and 3 tbsp butter and press onto bottom of round baking pan.
Beat cream cheese, 4 eggs, 1 cup sugar and vanilla until well blended.
Pour over crust.
Bake 45-55 min. or until center is almost set.
Cool for about 30 mins before putting Cherry topping on.
Refrigerate before serving.

Have a great week!
Yum, that cocktail looks amazing!
