Valentine's Day Recipe Ideas

So this is weird. I'm sure you've seen lately that a lot of areas are getting unseasonably warm weather for February the past two days or so. We've got the same thing going on here (I'm in the KC, Missouri area for those who don't know). Anyways, I'm writing this during the time I'd normally be sleeping and there are "night bugs" in my kitchen right now and all over my back door. I say "all over" even though there are like five of them but even one is a lot for the winter months!

The same thing happened last February. A few warm days and the flying night bugs came back. Except last year, there were wasps too and one got inside my house. In February. I'm seriously terrified of those things! And anything that flies with a stinger. Fortunately I haven't spotted any of those today but I wouldn't be too surprised considering how bad they've been the last two summers.

Anyways, about the recipes. I originally put together this Valentine's Day roundup post last year but decided to update it since I've added so many new "date night" appropriate recipes this past year. It's not often that I post two days in a row but I figured I'd get this added before the week starts since a lot of people, myself included, do most of their grocery shopping on the weekends. That's when they have all the good sales too! ;)

The recipes are divided into dinners, sides, and treats. I also know that 90% of you only showed up for the desserts so here's a link that will take you straight to the good stuff! You 90% are my kinda people 👍
