A Valentine’s Day menu that everyone will love and be excited for. Additionally, an introduction to the new online recipe site Foodily<\/a>: Food, I love you.<\/em>\"\"
\nEvery year for Valentine’s Day our tradition is to plan a special meal for the family. Ole and I have never actually done anything huge or extravagant, but considering our love for food, it seems only right that we’d share a meal with those little bundles of love we have right here at home. Plus, Valentine’s Day is on a Monday and we have things like swimming lessons to plan around.
\n
For this year’s menu I am partnering with Foodily, the newest and hottest recipe site out there, which features gorgeous photos and plenty of opportunities to browse. I like to eat with my eyes first, after all. Foodily is a great way to share recipes and is integrated with Facebook, making it even easier to show off what you made and enjoyed for dinner last night.
\n
With a wide variety of recipes from popular chefs and bloggers (me included!), this can be your go-to site for dinner inspiration and menu planning. So, take a look around and check out what they have to offer. Then, if you’re inspired, create your own Valentine’s Day menu.<\/p>\n
