Supe Bowl - Super Romantic Dish



Two things that go hand in hand are the Super Bowl and some great food. Everyone that prepares food for a Super Bowl party has a special dish that they like to make. Today is the day to show off your skills to your sweetheart. Don't just pick an easy dish to make, like nachos or hot dogs. Pick something out of the ordinary, today for instance I am making my special Stromboli with pie crusts and filled with sausage, sauce and cheese. This will most certainly impress your partner and show them that you have many talents besides being a great partner. One thing you want to make sure of is that you plan out your meal so that you won't be cooking during the game. You want the food to be ready for the two of you to enjoy during the game without missing a minute of the game. Today is also the day that the most junk is ate, so break that tradition and find healthy alternatives to snack and eat on. Remember the Super Bowl is like Christmas it only comes around once a year. Make the most of it and make it a event to remember.

Replace Sugary treats with kisses and love.


During the holidays it is so easy to find comfort it food. There are so many wonderful items to partake of during this season. Cookies, snacks, and rich foods make up the items that people make during the holidays that we don't usually find during the other times of the year. If you want a way to avoid falling into the Christmas treat trap, you need to look no father then your partner. They can be the support you need to fend off these sugary treats. Make a pact with your partner that every time you feel like picking up a cookie, rice crispy treat or any other sugary item that instead you will stroll over and give them a kiss instead. This will soon become a conditioned response and you will find yourself doing it without even thinking. You might just walk by some cookies and feel a desire to kiss your partner. The nice part about kisses is they don't have any calories and they can lead to lots more fun things to do around the holidays. Plus kisses taste a whole lot better!

A great way for both of your to lose weight!



Okay what does losing weight have to do with being romantic. Well you can make anything romantic and anything that improves the way you feel about yourself will help with the way you feel about romance. When both of you team up to make an effort to lose weight you become a team, just like you did when you decided to have a relationship. What I want you to do is become a support team for each other. Every time you feel like getting a little snack I want you to start making out with your partner instead, no not just a quick kiss. We need something to get your mind off the fact it thinks in needs a snack. Wrap your arms around your partner and really get into the kiss, hopefully the kiss will be sweet enough to cure that sweet tooth. If after the kiss you feel a little frisky then go make love it will burn calories and will make you feel great. There are several other ways the two of you can help each other out in the battle to lose weight. When you get up in the morning both of you stand together naked in front of a mirror and tell each other how great you look, this would fall under the positive reinforcement. You can also buy sexy things to wear as a reward for sticking to your weight loss efforts. Find exercises that you can do together and laugh. Most people don't know it but laughing burns more calories then you might think. By replacing your need to snack and looking at each other bodies more often you will start to get in better shape faster then you think.

Make a Movie Theater at Home!


Today life is so fast-paced that we seldom have time to take our sweetie to the movies. Either the times don't work out right or we don't have the hundreds of dollars it will take to purchase a ticket and snacks - Last time I went it was under a hundred, but let’s just use that as a general feeling. Nowadays, you can rent a movie not long after it has been in the theaters, and we have recently been downloading them from iTunes. I believe Netflicks has the downloading available also. It doesn't take much for us to get a movie and watch it on our time. We can pause it or stop it when we have things that arise like bathroom breaks or putting kids to sleep. But, just because we can’t find the time to attend the show at the theater doesn't mean we have to lose the ambiance.


Next time you get a movie to watch at home take some time and set up your own little theater in the family room. Move the couch around to sit right in front of the television. Make a trip to the local discount store and pick up all the snacks you would get at your local movie theater. They are much cheaper this way, and you usually get more for your money. Microwave some popcorn. You can even get some of those super humongous cups to get the real movie theater feel. Turn off all the lights in the house, and presto you have your own movie theater. You can even watch the previews at the start of the disc if you want to get a more authentic feeling. iTunes even carries trailers of movies that are not out in theaters yet.


Most movies have ratings like PG-13 or R. You need to decide what your theater rating will be! If you’re doing this with your children, you can use a G rating. Use pretend money and make tickets. The kids can use it to “purchase” their snacks and tickets. This is a good way to make sure they don't over do it on the snacks. Only give them enough play money to purchase a set amount of candy. If you want your theater to have a PG-13 rating you could invite all your teenage children’s friends over for a showing. Just get some extra folding chairs and presto you can create a teenager’s dream - all of their friends at the movies together. The R rated theater is probably just for the two of you (just depends on what you allow you kids to watch). Since the kids are probably in bed and no one else is in the theater let the make out session begin. Heck, if you know you won't have any interruptions, you can even slip into the X rating.
