Chocolate Hazelnut Souffle's

I had a great V-day. I woke up to a sweet note on my mirror, "I love the way you look" and the notes just kept coming. With every corner I turned or drawer I opened it I would find another note, example on my pans "thanks for not hitting me with these" even 2 days later on a box of macaroni and cheese "thanks for loving me even though I'm cheesy" It was great and it made my day!! I think I've found about 30 notes so far. Thanks Bart. Also, Bart took the day off from work!! It was great, we got some errands done and then he suggested we go to A.J's market and pick up some items so we could make a family dinner together since we weren't going out. So we decided to make it fun for the kids and do fondue. We bought filet mignon, and cubed it, and shrimp, and cooked it and dipped it in garlic butter. Then we have a variety of breads and cheese and a cheese fondue for dipping. Spinach artichoke dip, and for dessert chocolate souffle's with a rich, creamy, hazelnut center, this was my first run with souffle's and they turned out so good!! except we didn't eat them right away so they were flat by the time we got to them, but they still tasted yummy!! Thanks for such a great day Bart!!! I love you sooooo much!
