    collage with several photos and text overlay that reads 30 lovely valentine's day recipesAh Valentine's Day. You either love it or hate it. I always take a lighthearted approach to this holiday. My husband and I shun marked up restaurant prices, and we typically grab burgers or make something at home. My sister and I continue our tradition of buying each other cute and kitschy little gifts (a tradition we started long ago before I even met my husband).

    For better or worse,  I rounded up my favorite recipes from fellow food bloggers that will perfectly fit into your Valentine's (or Galentine's!) Day plans. We've got some tasty desserts, drinks, and main courses here. I went a little crazy with all the pink and hearts, but hey, this is the one time of year where you can! Enjoy this roundup of 30 lovely Valentine's Day recipes! ♥

      OMG! These are all so pretty and appealing! I just now got a pingback (???) and when I saw the date, and no comment from me, I wanted to make sure I said "thanks" for including my Grilled Lamb Chops (we also choose to stay in every year), and I will share it all around. Happy Valentine's Day!
