"Hot For You", a Valentine basket for my hottie

For my love, a few reminders to always keep it spicy! Jacob's goodie basket includes (1) table water crackers with cracked pepper - and a note that we'll pick something up at the Cheeseboard to spread on them; (2) dark chocolate bars infused with spices, one with chipotle, the other with chili and lime; (3) a spicy apple mustard, (4) rainbow peppercorns; (5) a box of organic candied ginger for a sweet and spicy treat; (6) chocolate-covered cinnamon sticks; (7) heart-shaped pasta with a note that I'll whip up some pasta arrabiata for him.

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix
