Happy Valentine’s Day!
Whether you are celebrating today with your significant other, best
friends, or feel like you just want some alone time- these simple, yet delicious
recipes are a must!
I know with everyone’s busy schedule it can be hard to
find the time to be in the kitchen, especially after a long day at work. After
all, who wants to be in the kitchen (unless you are planning on cooking
together, which is always fun) on Valentine’s Day? That’s why I am giving you
two very easy and quick recipes to try. The festive duo pairs perfectly
together, a refreshing Chambord infused cocktail and some heart-healthy
Chocolate Covered Strawberries.
Whip up these simple and elegant recipes and impress whomever
you will be spending the night with. And HEY - there is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying some sweet indulgences solo
and watching a good non- romcom on Valentine’s Day either! ;)
