Valentine's Sweets to the Sweet

Homemade Heart-Shaped Sugar Cookies for Valentine's Day

Oh, Valentine's Day. That yearly tension between refusing to succumb to vapid consumerism and the genuine desire to express your love. To me, the can't-go-wrong solution is to show your affection with a simple homemade or handmade token and then shower your loved ones with the real, sincere kindnesses that money can't buy. A good rule for the other 364 days, really. In any case, here are a few Valentine-y suggestions for an edible treat--rich and chocolatey, tart and fruity, or otherwise. Of course you can always find more via the Recipe Index.

Happy LOVE day & enjoy!

  1. Hello,
    Valentine's Day is approaching. I enjoyed your recipes. I will try few of them. I loved the handmade token to shower our loved ones with the real, sincere kindnesses that money can't buy.
    Thanks
