Anna-Marie, here, with some hearts-inspired inspiration and some ideas for a romantic, sustainable Valentine’s Day.
Recipes for historically aphrodisiac foods from almonds to avocados. Placebo effect? Maybe, but who cares? Imagine a romantic meal in or a wedding menu based entirely on foods meant to stir the passions.
Flavors like lavender blueberry, “roseberry” (raspberries and rose hips), and mint aren’t the only sweet thing about this Ashland, Oregon-based company: they’re also committed to full circle sustainability. I’m looking forward to incorporating their “xocolatl” bar (cacao nibs and chilies) into a ganache.

Considering cancelling the reservation and opening a bottle for a night in? Try one from a vineyard with sustainable growing practices, and you might find a new favorite (not to mention cut down on red wine headaches).
Greet friends and loved ones with a few lines of E.E. Cummings, Emily Dickinson, or Andrew Marvell.

Wishing you all a lovely Valentine's weekend!

I love these ideas, Anna-Marie! Matt and I are terrible at planning anything particularly romantic or original for Valentine's Day. We usually go the pseudo-ironic route and order a heart-shaped pizza from Papa John's. Pathetic!
Hold up, there's such a thing as a heart-shaped pizza? How did I not know this?
