Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. I was engaged on Valentine’s Day. My husband surprised me with a ring in a cupcake. Isn’t that romantic? When my son became old enough, every year we would make a new valentine’s card for members of the family. I still have them. Not too sentimental, huh? It is a day for sentiment and what better way to spread the love than with a link up of some great Valentine’s Day meals from around the real food world!
