It’s that time of year again ladies. The time of year when couples go out and waste copious amount of money on fancy dinners, red roses, assorted chocolates, giant teddy bears and other unnecessary demonstrations of “love.” These acts should be displayed throughout the year, not just on this solitary day of “love" observance. However, I digress, for those of you who are going to remain at home, snuggled with your favorite stuffed animal, it's not the end of the world. On the contrary, these recipes will have you living life for the first time. You may even become enamored by these delightful treats. It’s basically a win-win situation.
