Why go out on Valentine's Day with all the fuss, the expense, and crowds when you can spend time with your significant other or family and have an easy and elegant meal at home?
While I am a sucker for this seemingly cheesy holiday, I would rather spend the evening at home with my hubby and kiddos. Some of my fondest memories of our children growing up are those little moments at home where we created something special...Strawberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes in the morning, heart-shaped, Homemade Pop Tarts as an afternoon snack, and so much more! A little creativity can go a long way, and it does not have to be expensive, but it speaks volumes! The humbling part? It is when your teenager says, "Mom, are you making the heart-shaped Pop Tarts again this year?" Priceless!
Valentine's Day at home is the way to go. So, whether you're celebrating by yourself, with your special Valentine or with your family, we wanted to share our favorite recipes with you to help make your day extra special. Happy Valentine's Day!"
