Some Ideas To "Love" For Valentine's Day

What with our house on the market now and the “no-cooking” rule in effect, I’m a wee bit limited in what I can do in the kitchen, but never fear—I’ve got some great, tried and true Valentine’s Day treats that will be a surefire way to show your love your love!❤️❤️❤️

Of course there’s a lot of chocolate, but I’m also including a few of what I like to think of as “romantic” entrees because, while it’s definitely fun to go out and celebrate, staying home, cozy and warm and away from crowds, can be even better!!xoxo
