Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day or not, everyone can get beyond luscious recipes! See our favorite desserts, from an easy strawberry hand pie to a chocolate lava cake. Plus, we’ve tacked on some mouthwatering breakfast and dinner ideas, too!
Go old-school with these mini jam-filled Valentine’s heart pies. Fill with strawberry jam (or a similar filling of your choice). Serve warm and toasty.
An aura of mystery surrounds this showstopping dessert, which is probably why so few cooks try to make it at home. In fact, it’s easy to make if you pay close attention to the baking time.
Cut the strawberries into heart shapes for added Valentine’s Day panache!
Valentine’s Day Dinner
A wise man once posed the question: “How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?” In light of this, here are a few Valentine’s Day dinner ideas to balance out the delicious desserts above.

This is a great selection of recipes.There are several I want to make soon. I kept thinking when I was reading the beef tenderloin recipe, that it might be even better with a pork tenderloin.
This is one of the better selection of recipes, although the calories much be off the records on some of them. They still sound delicious. There is a greater selection of egg-less recipes. Thanks for that!
