Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. But you don't need expensive gifts to show your love. After all, it’s well-known that the way to the heart is through the stomach—even more so when the meal is homemade. This isn’t only true on Valentine’s Day, either. Cooking together is the perfect occasion to spend time with your loved one any day of the year.
Start the holiday with a delicious breakfast (in bed, preferably), then feast on a romantic dinner for two that evening—and don’t forget to spoil yourselves with a sweet dessert to finish!

A Romantic Start

Perfect for a breakfast in bed! The grated apples lend the pancake extra moisture, and the caramelized walnuts will bring a smile to both of your faces.

Quick cheesecake in a glass

Cheesecake comes in all shapes and colors, but rarely in a glass (or this easy to prepare)! For this version, creamy Greek yogurt and fresh fruit of your choice are layered atop crunchy cookie dough.
Pro tip: It’s most delicious by candlelight!

Made with Love
