Why do you need these 10 Cheap Date Ideas That Won't Break The Bank which include Baking a Weight Watchers Banana Bread Recipe? Because the alternative -ROUTINE- can be lethal to your marriage.
You know what I'm referring to- those incessant questions,”Did you remember to put the laundry in the dryer? Did you move the dog's water so that she doesn't step in it and then traipse it all over the house? Did you get those index cards for our son's school project?”
And well you get the gist of it and it is why I am sharing these 10 Cheap Date Ideas That Won't Break The Bank which include Baking a Weight Watchers Banana Bread Recipe.
We all need a change from the ordinary. WE need to be with the person we love, aka our best friend, in a new environment where all the stresses of daily life are packed away for that moment and for that brief period of time it is just the two of us completely focused on one another.
It is for all intents and purposes just another way to keep that bonding factor strong, between you and your mate as CRACK FREE as possible, because lord knows if you leave cracks alone, before long they develop into gaping wide holes and that foundation ultimately crumbles.

Date ideas that encourage excitement and a flood of adrenaline since our brains more easily fall in love (triggered by the release of dopamine) when stimulated by novel and exciting things.

#2 Adult bowling – Most bowling allies have evening hours and also servealcohol. Bowling, as most know, is extremely cheap, but also quite fun and entertaining.

I am all for healthy food that does not break the bank! That can be hard to find sometimes! I will defiantly add this to my list to try!
These are great ideas! My husband and I actually love cooking together, we don’t bake as often together but I think we will start doing that more!
The heart shaped measuring spoons are adorable. I would use them in all of my recipes.
These are all great ideas. My wife and I like cooking and baking together.
Hubby and I enjoy time in the kotchen together. Not only it helps us bond, we get to show the family as well we are a team. Awesome recipe to try.
Hi, would quick oats work in this recipe?
Looks like some good old fashioned fun date ideas. The banana bread sounds good too!
My husband and I have a date night every week. We go to the movies because on Tuesdays admission is only $5. We like to go to Dave and Busters too. I love video games and we have so much fun there.
Love all of this – especially baking! I’d love to bake with my hubby for a date night. Not sure why we’ve never done that before. Such a great idea, and this looks so good.
Banana bread looks delicious! I thought cinnamon was 0 points,not 1. Perhaps I’m mistaken.
great ideas. Bonus I have to try this recipe. Sounds healthy and yummy!
These were cute ideas and I wouldn’t mind taking a Couple Cooking class although I am off to make your recipe as my son saw it and asked if we could do that before I began to work. Although I am going to make extra so we can bless his grandmother and the neighbors with a nice snack.
This is such a fun date idea! I went to a cooking class with my hubby last year and we had the best time! I need to sign us up for another class soon.
This is just another reminder that the cost is not the most important part, but the intentionality of the time together matters!

I love all these ideas! We do a lot of these but I would love to bake with him. Sounds like it would be fun!
I love these ideas especially the cookie class. I do bake a lot but it would be nice if he would bake for me or we will bake together.
We love making and prepping small munchy type foods (veggies, fruits, crackers, breads, etc) and driving to a nearby area with a great view of San Francisco and sitting in the bed of the truck with a picnic setting and enjoying the food and treats! Easily my favorite type of date night
