Date night doesn’t have to be fancy. It’s who you’re with that counts! Cozy up with a soup and salad date: a couple of bowls of creamy potato soup, chopped salad, and bread for dipping. The perfect lunch or dinner date! Thank you Idahoan® Steakhouse® Soups for sponsoring this post. Treat your SOUP-er significant other to a delicious meal!


Then we added a child to the mix. And another, and another, and another, and just when we thought we were done—another.

He is my person. The only person who truly “gets” me and I love being with him. He took a day off of week recently so that he could help me run out with a few appointments (ie: dentist appointment and taking the dog to the vet. Both impossible to do with a baby in tow!). We also went grocery shopping, renewed my military ID, and had a great time visiting in between stops.
On the way home Derrick said, “Do you want to stop for lunch?” I thought about it for a second, but couldn’t really think of anywhere that sounded good. And we knew that the baby would be waking up from his nap soon so I said, “How about lunch at home?” And that’s just what we did. A lunch date at home—it was perfect.
We enjoyed reheated leftovers around our dining table. Just the two of us. Nothing fancy, but it’s the company that made it perfect.




Paired with a rainbow chopped salad, and French bread for dipping, it’s a cozy and EASY soup and salad lunch date for two!

I’m excited for what the ext 16 years of dating will bring! How do you squeeze time in for dates with your significant other?

We squeeze in time when our 11 year old daughter is at school. We get her on the bus, then slip back into bed and rewake at a decent hour (like 10am!) and then go out for a cozy lunch at The Great Harvest right up the street. If it’s a nice day, we ride our bikes! That is fun for us at this stage of our lives,…and it really is fun!
That sounds amazing. Any day that includes a date, Great Harvest, and sleeping in is one to replicate!! 🙂
