Valentine's Day

Sweets for Your Sweetie This Valentine’s Day

From initial spark to hot flame, brightly burning fire to softly glowing embers, true love and romance is worth celebrating at all of its stages. That’s why the Waterford Crossings luxury apartment home community in Antioch (near Nashville, Tennessee), asked the *Idea Specialists™* for suggestions on making this Valentine’s Day a memorable one.

 

Let The Guru Be Your Guide

Nashville Valentine's Day Guide

The Idea Specialists™ are big fans of Nashville Guru, which has done a fantastic guide to just some of the many restaurants in Nashville are perfect for Valentine’s Day dinners, drinks, or desserts. Carne Mare and Yolan are just two on the list that are featuring prix fixe menus for the special occasion.  Wherever you choose to go, don’t forget the bubbles!

It’s OK To Monkey Around This Valentine’s Day!

A fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day in the Music City is with a Frothy Monkey Frothy Love Dinner. At all of the Nashville locations (and in Franklin), they’re gonna down the lights, change the tunes, and create the perfect ambiance to serve an exclusive three-course menu for two. While everything looks good, the Idea Specialists™ are mainly focused on dessert—a double chocolate flourless cake with tart cherry sauce! You can find out more here, and make your reservation for Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night (February 13-15).

And speaking of chocolate…..

Oh, my, but did the Idea Specialists™ come through for Waterford Crossings with suggestions on this front! They hit the jackpot when they found this Food Network post on best buys for Valentine’s Day. Favorites?

First up is the Salts of the World Chocolate Collection; each of these chocolates celebrates a different country and features salt, ingredients, and a wildflower all native to that country. So cool!

Then there’s the Belgian Chocolate Covered Mini Doughnut Bouquet. Flowers are nice, but could anything really beat a beautifully packaged bouquet of chocolate-covered mini doughnuts?

Then, for the vegan Valentines out there, the Idea Specialists™ recommend that you go with the Berry Bouquet Vegan Chocolate Box from Compartés. It is packed with raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, goji berries, cranberries and cherries, all dipped in absurdly good vegan dark chocolate.

Kids & Puppies

The Idea Specialists™ also gave the Waterford Crossings team a cute suggestion on how to celebrate the little lovies in your life—a cute mini-waffle maker! You can make kid-sized waffles in a heart shape perfect for Valentine’s Day morning—or as a dessert treat with ice cream and hot fudge! (Pro Tip: Add a little pink or red food coloring to the batter for that extra flair.)

Puppy LoveAnd because they know that Waterford Crossings is a very pet-friendly apartment community, complete with leash-free pet parks, the Idea Specialists™ made it a point to share some info on animal safety. Each year the experts at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) see a rise in cases around February 14, many involving chocolate or lilies. Valentine’s Day can be as much fun for pets as it is for humans—as long as dangerous items are kept out of paws’ reach!
