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.

But it's not too late, would-be Valentiners! I've compiled here for you some fun, super-easy Valentines food treats to dazzle your hungry loved ones. Here's some breakfast ideas, dinner ideas, and a luscious dessert with just 2 ingredients.

Valentine's Day is encroaching and there's nothing we can do to stop it. Every year it pops up here in the middle of February, and every year we either clamour for dinner reservations with our lover boys or drink to our single heart's content alone on the couch. I mean, that's what everyone says you do, but really, why would I sit on the couch when lying in bed with my Merlot is so much more comfy and cozy. Please.

Anyway, if you happen to find yourself single this Valentine's Day, don't hide in bed. Don't sit on the couch. And for god's sake, don't tweet about how "lonely" you are. Instead, TREAT YO SELF. Make it the one day this year that you treat yo self to some cupcakes, to mimosas, or to some fine. leather. goods. Parks and Rec was definitely on to something. So! In that vein, here are 5 ideas to get you thinking about how you'll want to pamper yourself this Valentine's/Singles Awareness Day.

Get ready to shower your loved ones in cards, flowers, cute sayings, and of course, chocolate. It's that time of year when we can drink champagne and chow down on sweets in the name of love. I, for one, will totally be getting in on that action. But instead of buying a box of expensive chocolate truffles, I'm going to try my hand at making my own this year.

After all, you'll know exactly what's inside each and every ball of fun, and you'll know how to make them all year round. Bake sales and birthday parties will never be the same once you've mastered the truffle.

Here are five different ways you can whip up a batch of chocolate-y goodness for Valentine's Day ... and beyond!

I'm not a big believer in Valentine's Day. My husband is the romantic one in our marriage while I roll my eyes at the sappy cards he presents me with year after year. Last year, after celebrating 15 years of me griping about the price of flowers and returning jewelry I didn't like, he finally got the hint and got me ... nothing. Unlike most of my friends, I really didn't mind. Plus, compared to some of the whoppers below, nothing seems like the best gift ever.

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. 

Anything better than breakfast in bed? If you ask me, then yes, yes there is. Breakfast in bed is messy. And hard to eat. Between all the pillows and the breakable glassware and the whole crumbs issue, I find the gesture to be highly overrated. However! Breakfast doesn't have to be served in bed to be considered romantic. There are all kinds of fun and quixotic ways to serve up the most important meal of the day that won't leave you worried about staining your sheets or getting oatmeal on the lampshade.

So this Valentine's Day, consider these 5 romantic breakfast ideas that will show your loved ones just how much you care. Nothing says "I love you" more than eggs in a heart-shaped basket, right?

I've always loved making unusual valentines to express the goofiness of my love. One year I made my husband a basket filled with pink donuts and toothbrushes; it showed I wanted to please his palate, but I also cared about his dental health. Another year I just took a check from our checkbook and made it out to him for the amount of "one million blow jobs." It made him laugh and acknowledged the fact that after five years of togetherness we had become exceedingly, comically blunt with each other.

On Valentine's Day we might want to find a way to convey a big message simply: our love is eternal, I appreciate you, you still turn me on. But sentiments like that don't always get to the heart of what keeps love alive. The Victorians used the language of flowers to acknowledge the complexity, the messiness, and the practical side of their unspoken feelings, so why can't we use symbols, too?
