Hi, y’all! How was your Valentine’s Day?
Mine was fine, just fine. The hubs took me to HIS favorite restaurant so HE could have HIS favorite food, i.e., Korean BBQ.
I told you it’s all about ME on Valentine’s Day, lol. I’m just kidding. I did enjoy the food, too. It’s one of my favorites, too.
Besides he already did his duty earlier in the day, by getting me flowers and chocolate. So typical and creative, right?! I’m just kidding. I do appreciate the thought and his taking time out of his busy schedule to shop for the presents.
Anyway, I hope y’all had a happy Valentine’s Day!
And are y’all looking forward to the long weekend as we observe President’s Day? I am!
It’ll be a long while before we get another 3-day weekend, so I’m planning to celebrate this one by being your solo host this week! You read right, it’s about time I do the time. However, I will need your help in selecting features. You can vote for up to 5 of your favorite links. Voting will start on Tuesday at 12:00 pm EST, so be sure to come back then.
For the next weeks and months, though, I would like y’all to take charge in cohosting. Please volunteer your time to cohost Fiesta Friday. Just leave me a message or comment.
Now it’s time for features!
“Is this a special recipe or what?! It’s a cake…no, it’s a custard…no, it’s a bread…no, it’s a cheesecake… It’s EVERYTHING!” — Angie
“I am not very creative when it comes to cake decorating, but seeing Josette’s adorable cake makes me think that even I can’t possibly ruin it. Most importantly, we get to enjoy the delicious red velvet cake!” — Jhuls
“Start thinking about everything Irish, y’all! St. Patrick’s Day will be here before we know it. You can start with these cheeseburgers, spiked with Guinness. Don’t they look good?!” — Angie
“Chocolate and raspberry – for me, they are perfect together. Looking at the cupcakes, there is nothing you could not love – they look pretty and heavenly. And oh, I love the chocolate surprise in the middle.” — Jhuls

Now, let’s party! Join Fiesta Friday #263 by adding your link. Don’t forget to link your post to FiestaFriday.net, so we can feature you. We’ll be voting for features this week. So come back Tuesday afternoon to cast your votes! You may vote for up to 5 links.

Yay! So happy to see Piggy Brown featured. 🙂 Thank you so much!

Rebecca says
Such a cute cake but my autistic son just saw it and asked why the pig has eaten a bear hahahaha!
Angie says
Lol, that’s so cute!
Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook says
I went out with friends and we watched fireworks. Although we just walked to reach the place (we wanted to exercise our feet) and got very exhausted after, we were happy. It was amazing! 😀 I am glad to know that you had fun, Angie. Have a lovely weekend!
PS: I can co-host again whenever you need me. 😉
Angie says
So glad you had fun with your friends, Jhuls. And re: cohosting, how does Mar 8 sound to you?
Jhuls | The Not So Creative Cook says
It’s perfect, Angie. Just one issue – I might be a little late. 🙁 Is that okay?
Angie says
That’s fine, Jhuls ?
Life Diet Health says
We had a great Valentines Day (helped by your heart shaped pretzels)! 😛 Glad you had a great day too! Oh, and a giant vegan carrot cake got delivered by post all for me! 😀 😛 Anyway, always ask when you ‘need’ co-hosts and I’ll do it when I can! 😀 We’d miss the Fiesta if it wasn’t here! Have a great ‘long’ weekend – we’ve got half term now so less rushing around for a bit! 😀 xxx
Angie says
A giant vegan carrot cake sounds like THE perfect Valentine’s gift, Laurena. Someone thought hard about what to give you, unlike my husband, ahem. Always chocolate and flowers! But I don’t want to sound ungrateful; it was nice of him still to go through the trouble. Would you take Mar 1?
Life Diet Health says
I think we’re never happy if it’s not exactly what we wanted! Chocolates and flowers? sound great to me (I never get chocolates ?as I make them)! The cake is so big and heavy my first comment was something like ‘will I weigh that much more if I eat it all!?’ ? Cake for breakfast the last two days has been good though!? I can do March 1st (although I’m not free on the Mon/Tues) -I’ll put it in the diary. Enjoy those chocolates! ?
Angie says
Great! Mar 1 it is, then. Your fellow cohost is Kat @ Kat’s 9 Lives. Thanks! ??
Helen at the Lazy Gastronome says
Thanks for hosting another great party. Have a good weekend.
Angie says
Glad to see you at the fiesta, Helen!
Lathiya says
The round up looks fabulous…so many interesting creations
Angie says
Yup, I feel the same way. So many fabulous recipes! Have a good weekend, Lathi ?
Ginger says
Thank you for your lovely comments and the feature, Angie! What a great feast you’ve assembled again this week. I’ll consult my diary and get back to you when I found a free-ish week xx
Angie says
Okie dokie, and you’re welcome! ?
Kat (The Baking Explorer) says
Thank you for featuring my cupcakes!
Angie says
No problem. It’s a good cupcake recipe; love the chocolate surprise inside!
