Caprese-Inspired Macaroni & Cheese
Turn a much-loved caprese appetizer into the main course. These tasty baguettes incorporate all the fresh, tangy caprese flavors. And the scoop of macaroni & cheese on top adds a layer of texture and flavor that is pretty darn excellent.

If ever there’s a time to indulge a bit, it’s over Valentine’s Day. These decadent cheesecake muffins smothered in warm glazed apples are just that.

At-home Valentine’s Day Idease
Don’t get us wrong. We love a good meal at a restaurant. But there are times where we’d rather not deal with the hubbub of the Valentine’s Day crowd, the elements or lining up a babysitter. And when that’s the case, a cozy meal at home, some candles, and a good movie or game night are just right for celebrating Valentine’s Day.
These are just a few of the many Valentine’s Day ideas for food you’ll find on our recipe page. Take a look for more Valentine’s Day inspiration.
