Galentine's Day

Valentine's Day is one of the best days of the year! It is just a day to celebrate how much we love one another and I think we need more days like that throughout the year. If you watch Parks and Rec, you know Galentine's Day is even better! As Leslie says, it's only the best day of the year, and it is just a holiday that solely celebrates you and the love you have for your girlfriends. Basically, its all about spending time with your best girlfriends, or your real soul mates, and therefore they deserve a holiday to themselves too so it is celebrated February 13th. Thelma and Louise-y before Mario and Luigi right? So here is how we celebrated:

Jalapeño popper dip: Cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, jalapeño, topped with bread crumbs served with tortilla chips

Garlic knots: Pepperoni and mozzarella cheese baked in fresh dough sprinkled with garlic and butter with marinara to dip

Loaded nachos: Grilled chicken, tomatoes, scallions, red peppers, sour cream and hot sauce, 

Chocolate covered strawberries: we might have eaten a few before I even got the chance to take the picture...guilty! 

The gals

And of course we had to finish the night by watching the 2-hour NBC Special The Best of Jimmy Fallon!

My personal favorites were the lip sync battles and when he hosted Nicole Kidman and they once went on a date, but Jimmy didn't realize it was a date or that Nicole was even interested.

Favorite lip sync battle: Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart
