50 (or 51) Valentine’s Day Recipes

Yesterday, the weather was beautiful so I took Judah to the playground with a friend of mine and two of her boys.  We packed a lunch and had a great time!  Later in the day, I posted pictures of our fun lunch on my personal Facebook page and captioned the album “Lunch on a warm January day.”  This morning, I woke up thinking, “WAIT!  It’s not January, it’s February!”  Then, I came to realize that Valentine’s Day is next week!!

You might love the holiday or you might hate it.  Either way, it is fun to try new recipes that are frilly, indulgent and straight up sinful with the excuse that “hey, it’s Valentine’s Day!”  So, let me help you gratify your sweet (and savory!) tooth by sharing 50 (actually, 51 as I couldn’t cut it short) of my preferred Valentine’s recipes from my own collection, along with a few from across my favorite food blogs.
