There’s a reason they say the key to someone’s heart is through their stomach! There’s just no sweeter gesturet than making a home-cooked meal. So this Valentine’s Day, we’re opting out of cheezy, couples-filled restaurants and whippin’ up something good to eat for our sweethearts. From lovingly shaped waffles {hello breakfast in bed!} to a bold red colored beet risotto for dinner, these love-filled recipes will make anybody scream, “oh baby!” by the end of the night! Now that’s what we call a win-win!

Breakfast in bed couldn’t be any cuter than with these Heart Waffles. If you don’t have a heart shaped waffle maker, you can use a cute heart cookie cutter to get the same, perfectly adorable results. Top them with whipped cream and berries to really get the day started on a sweet note!
