Valentine’s Day has come and gone, so now what do you do to keep the romance from fizzling out? So much emphasis gets put on that one day of the year, Valentine’s Day, you may sometimes forget about the rest of the year. All of our kids are teens or young adults now, making it so much easier to devote more time to making our marriage the best it can be. It is important to us to focus on romance as often as possible, not just that one day a year. We have a weekly “date” night at home. We eat, watch a movie, sit at the campfire or whatever comes up. Once a month our date night is leaving the house and that’s a splurge that we save for in our budget.
This past week we had the chance to sample some Dr. Oeteker Ristorante Frozen Pizza and watch In Plain Sight, one of our favorite TV shows. Until we had the chance to sample the pizza I hadn’t really paid attention to it in the grocery store, but now I will be paying lots of attention. Dr. Oetker Ristorante frozen pizza gives you Italian restaurant style pizza taste without paying restaurant style prices.
I was so impressed by the high quality taste and fresh ingredients in the Dr. Oeteker Funghi and Mozzarella pizzas that we enjoyed, I will definitely be back for more. The pizza was on sale in my local marked for $4.49 there was a $1 coupon from a Sunday insert, so $3.49 each and we had two. $7 was a great date night deal and with the price of gas, staying home and enjoying pizza was a great deal for us! Oh and I almost forgot, it only took 12 mins to bake and they were ready to eat!
The 2 flavors we sampled and enjoyed were:
Ristorante Mozzarella
The wonderful aroma of fresh cheese provides this pizza with its elegant taste, combined with tomatoes, edam cheese and a delightful mixture of herbs.
Ristorante Funghi
Enjoy this vegetable pizza with its many aromatic mushrooms, fruity tomatoes and fine mozzarella cheese.
If your looking for an at home date pizza or even a quick meal for the kiddos, I recommend you give Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza a try.
Dr. Oetker Ristorante is currently available at grocery stores in several states, including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Washington, D.C., Rhode Island, Baltimore, Maryland and New Hampshire.

My husband makes it easy to keep the romance alive. I married my best friend, so there was a strong foundation to build upon. Ten and a half years later, and I still find myself falling in love with him all over again on a regular basis.

My husband and I have been together since I was 19yrs old. I am 43 now and we still act like we are dating. We always hold hands where ever we go and at 730pm we go to bed and snuggle and hold hands until about 8pm. He gets up early for work so we always dedicate this time just for us. Oh and whenever he passes me in the house he always gives me a kiss. I am a very lucky woman to be that valentines day is just another day because he shows me how much he loves me every day and visa versa 😀

We try to go out by ourselves at least once a month

Rosemary H says
Its been a long time since I thought about romance but my advice to my daughters when they were married was to keep it alive by setting up dates at least once a month with their spouses. And, on those dates don’t talk about kids or the house just focus on each other. Thanks for the giveaway.

With both of our crazy busy schedules, we try to eat at least one meal a day together. This gives us time to be with each other and catch up on what is going on.
