Whew! So much celebrating this week! It's great but exhausting! First the Super Bowl, last night we started the OIympics and now Valentine's Day is right around the corner!! Hard to keep up with it all!! 

Do you have a tried and true Valentine's menu? We switch around a lot--kinda depends on work/school/sports schedules but if we're home, I like to cook dinner and of course make some sort of dessert, generally relying heavily on the chocolate (naturally). If it's a weekend, it's fun to make something special that we wouldn't have time for on busy mornings. I've been working on a couple of special new Valentine's Day treats and I will definitely get them out to you asap, but until then I thought I'd share a bunch of tried and true recipes for love in case you want to get a little jump on things this weekend. No matter what you choose, all of them will help you deliciously say "I love you"!! Have a great weekend!!
