At Home Date Night

Complete with Games, a Movie, and Snack Food!

My husband and I are trying to pay off our house and my student loans, so we frequently have 'at home' date nights. This one was one of my favorites because we did so much together!

Since it was a Friday night, I thought about what I could cook that would be simple and quick. I decided on snack foods, mainly because I had some avocado to use in guacamole and some green olives to add to a relish tray. Bonus: I had leftover meatballs from Thursday's dinner, so they added some protein!

First, I put the veggie tray together. I made an awesome ranch dip! Use one packet ranch dressing mix, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup mayo, and 1 cup sour cream. It's delicious and the perfect consistency!

Then, I made the guacamole. My secret "quick n' easy guacamole" recipe is 2 avocados, 3 T salsa, 1 T. lemon or lime juice, and 1/4 t. hot sauce. Mash everything together until creamy. Mmm....good!

Finally, I reheated the meatballs and put everything on the table for us to enjoy while we played Sequence. (Afterwards we snuggled on the couch to watch "The Switch." It was a cute movie, but not as romantic as I thought it might be....you just have to see it for yourself to decide.)
