Double Chocolate Muffins
These double chocolate muffins are just the thing for your Valentine-on-the-go! Moist, rich, denser in texture than a chocolate cupcake, and packed with mini chocolate chips. It’s the perfect little dessert for your loved one!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
My Valentine this year to Joe was inspired by the television show FEUD: Capote vs. The Swans. I included everything a glamour gal from the 60s loves – chocolate, flowers, jewelry, and big hair! Happy Valentine’s Day Joe!

Valentine’s Sugar Cookies
This is a simple sugar cookie dough that doesn’t need to be chilled, rolls out like a dream, and tastes delicious. I dipped these in some semi-sweet melted chocolate, because hey – it’s Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
To Joe, who I’ve celebrated this holiday with for 28 years! xo
Happy Valentine’s Day!
This year’s Valentine for my Joe, the cream in my coffee and the jelly in my donut!
Love Letters
This is the brainchild of Diane Morrisey, ain’t Instagram grand? I saw them on her feed, and they were so adorable, I just had to make them!
