I don't mean to brag, but I just got back from Florida where it was in the 70s, and my boyfriend and I could sit at a bar by the pool, drinking mojitos and citrusy beers.

Valentine's Day is tomorrow and you're all ready with your homemade chocolate truffles and pink frosted heart cookies and your red velvet cupcakes, right? NO?!? Yeah, me neither. I spent the weekend running errands, cleaning the bathroom, and trying to sort out our growing pile of mis-matched socks.
Know how I know someone loves me? They tell me so. Know how else? They hand- feed me chocolate molten lava cake while the hired in-house masseuse goes to town on my upper back. I'm sure you agree that the moist, fudge-filled little mini-cakes are the best thing in the world, so show someone you love them this Valentine's Day by whipping up this fantastic recipe. Best part? It's way easier than you think it is. Seriously. From start to eat, it'll take you less than 30 minutes. Masseuse not included.

Nothing says Valentine's Day like chocolate-covered strawberries! Those red, heart-shaped fruits, that melted chocolate, together in one sweet, scrumptious bite. They're undeniable. But if you've ever tried making them, you may have discovered there are a few tricks to getting them right without ending up with a weird, lumpy, melted chocolate mess.
Oh Shamrock Shake, how I adore thee. Seeing your minty green color back at McDonald's makes me all giddy. Your peppermint taste makes my heart beat with a passionate fury. I appreciate your McCafe goodness so much more than the M&M's McFlurry.
