- Knock off work early and whip up a batch of your favorite cookies – heart-shaped cutouts, chocolate chip or whatever you fancy. Or try these festive M&M treats.
- Grab your cocktail shaker and blend up a raspberry martini; enjoy with cheese, veggies and crackers. If you’re into olives, try green olives stuffed with blue cheese or almonds.
- Browse through your favorite grocery store and select something to prepare that you’ve never made before, but have wanted to. Perhaps king crab legs or a Cornish hen?
- Make it a night where you only need a microwave and frozen foods – the options these days are endless especially if you want to eat healthy (Healthy Choice Power Bowl) or indulge (Trader Joe’s Mac ‘n Cheese or Mandarin Orange Chicken).
- Popcorn and ice cream! This is the ideal combo. If you made those cookies like I suggested, add a few to your bowl of ice cream for a luscious dessert.
- Breakfast for dinner! Sometimes a bowl of Cheerios or scrambled eggs is all you need.
This Valentine's Day, curl up with your favorite novel or Netflix show, a bag of strawberry
Twizzlers and celebrate you.
