Cooking for your Sweetie on Valentine's Day? (Updated for 2018)

Home-cooked Valentine's Day Dinner!


I've never been a big one for Valentine's Day restaurant dinners.... too crowded, over-priced, sometimes the service isn't that great.. and the Valentine's Day dinner specials might not be that wonderful either. So... He'll bring me flowers (and maybe some candy), and I'll cook.


Now maybe your man (or your lady) would prefer lobster, shrimp, or steak for a special Valentine's Day meal? If so, get the best ingredients and learn how to prepare these foods without ruining them. But I won't be of any help to you here. Because my Valentine's Day special meals are much simpler.....

Real hearty man fare: Heart-shaped meatloaf or lasagne with a heart on top. (Check back for the lasagne recipe... and then add red velvet cake for dessert!)

So for those of you are interested in the simpler pleasures of life.. I'll post my simple recipes... all ingredients are approximate... just season to taste!

For Valentine's Day

Cup of Love at Worth 1000.com

Valentine's Day is only a few weeks away, and our hearts are turning to thoughts of Love Stuff!!     

(Updated for 2018)


Those without "relationships" may think that it would be nice to have a decent, healthy solid relationship... and those in relationships may wonder how to celebrate Valentine's Day in peace and joy... and love ... without acrimony or desperation.

Valentine's Day can bring fear to the heart of strong men everywhere. How many men look forward to Valentine's Day.. and spending a special evening with a loving wife or girlfriend.. and how many are in terror of not doing Valentine's Day "right"?

This year (2018) Valentine's Day is in the middle of the week.  That may relieve some of the pressure, as people are busy with work during the middle of the week and they may not have to focus as much on Valentine's Day.  But perhaps it means cramming more expectations in less time.

Over the next days and weeks, we'll discuss Valentine's Day here at Love Stuff, so follow us so you don't miss anything.
