Love is in the Air….

Love is in the air and yes, Cupid is out in full force today!

I have to admit something to you here…..I have not always been a fan of this holiday.  Holiday is a loose term.  I mean, 1 day where you are supposed to Love someone, tell them and seal it with a kiss? Puh-Leeze!  But since I have had kids I have tried to make each and every Valentines Day special for them and every year I do something different.  Heart shaped sandwiches, heart pancakes.. even Heart Shaped Cranberry Shortbread Cookies !

And shame on me for being a Valentines Day Scrooge! I mean, my husband DID propose to me on this day 16 years ago. You would think that for that reason alone I would hold this day in high regard.  Alas, he is not sentimental, at ALL, so I am usually the one to remind him that on this day, he asked me to be his wife.

So this morning I am making pink heart-shaped pancakes and after dinner tonight we will be feasting on a decadent chocolate cake.

This fudgy dream is my go-to special occasion dessert.  I have talked about it a million times.  (Click HERE for the recipe)  This time , to be fancy and festive, I used 2 small heart-shaped cake pans instead of 1 9-inch round one.  I also added a bit of the dreaded ‘food coloring’ to the finished batter to make it red.  Before you go all a twitter about me using food coloring, let me assure you it was all natural and plant based.  It costs a carazy amount per drop it seems, but I feel pretty good about eating it ????

So I hope you enjoy this day, no matter if you have a Sweetie or not.  Drop me a line if you want to vent about this ‘Holiday’ or if you have a special romantic story to share with the class.  I would love to hear it!

Thank you for coming by today and taking a minute to read my post ???? I appreciate YOU!

Love is in the air this Valentine's Day, with a delicious recipe for decadent chocolate cake! Make your Valentine sweetie this sweet treat! Recipe on basilmomma.com
Happy Valentines Day !!
