Chicken and Red Velvet Waffles
Think the combo of chicken and waffles can’t get any stranger? Think again. This recipe combines spicy fried chicken with sweet, chocolatey red velvet waffles for a dish that might be good enough to fall in love with.
Strawberry Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes
Strawberry and lemon go together like Cupid and his arrows. These pancakes are a light and fluffy addition to brunch and are delightfully complemented by the poppy seeds. Oh, and move aside maple syrup. This recipe has it covered with a sweet strawberry syrup.
Pizza is the key to everyone’s heart, and adding an egg really seals the deal. This recipe is simple, but it takes a lot of love to make. Top it with all of the red veggies you can find and eat your heart out.
Grapefruit, Berries, Honey and Mint Salad
Fruit is stealing chocolate’s sweet holiday spotlight with this salad. The honey and mint might balance the tang of the grapefruit and berries, but you’ll still want to pucker up for a side dish this good.
What do you get when you cook bacon in the shape of a heart? A match made in hog heaven. Bacon strips are so last Valentine’s Day, so get with the times and spread some greasy love.
And don’t forget the strawberry milk to wash it all down!
