"Cooking with Love- Just in Time for Valentine's Day" by Marybeth Gregg

votive candles looks beautiful.

o Turn off the cell phone! Keep music soft and tender, but

not so slow that it makes you want to fall asleep.

Just Show That You Care

o Show your genuine love in what you say and do. That is

what will come across as caring. The fact that you took the

time to make this event happen, that you cooked a few

things, mostly from scratch, will help this to be a

beautiful memory for both of you!

♥REMEMBER OTHERS WHO MAY BE ALONE ♥

This holiday is really geared to couples – and I want to

suggest that you also included others- reach out for someone

who may be alone. An elderly neighbor, or someone who has

been recently widowed or divorced, someone who is ill and

can surely use a lift. It is amazing how a call, a

card, a little plant such as a yellow primrose , a pink or

red cyclamen, or forced-bulb lavender hyacinth or tulip,

will make everyone feel a little better! Most of these

treats are under $5.00, but think of the joy that someone

will get by this unexpected gesture of love.

AND REMEMBER THE KIDS…

Not just with candy but also with a hand-written card, a

lunch out together, making a Valentine’s craft such as

construction paper and doily hearts to put in the windows,

making cupcakes and decorating with all those yummy red

candies and icing. Make some time to do this now because

they are out on their own all too quickly.

Valentine's Day is just one holiday in February, which we

think of as such a slow and dreary time of year…

In my next article, I will share some thoughts with you for

Chinese New Year, which begins on February 9th.

This article will have lots of great ideas and recipes for

this wonderful celebration, and some discussion about a very

important issue, which is American Heart Month as it

especially relates to women’s heart health and nutrition.
