What is sexier than yummy gooey chocolate? (Okay, maybe a silk negligee but we’re not that kind of website). I’ve always loved molten chocolate cake – partly because of the oh-my-God-this-is-so-flippin’-good factor, as well as its neat little individual size.  I got this Molten Chocolate Cake recipe from Marco Barisione’s Weblog and decided to jazz it up a bit with a lil sumpin’-sumpin’ special. I want Grand Marnier added to mine and Barnaby wants Scotch. Since they’re made in little ramekins it’s easy to customize, thus making your honey happy on Valentine’s Day!

All you do is pour the batter into the ramekins, add 1-2 tablespoons of the liquor of your choice (depending on the size of the ramekin and according to your personal taste), give it a little stir and bake as instructed.

If this dessert doesn’t make you feel sassy, I don’t know what will! Happy Valentine’s Day!

It’s Valentine’s Day and I want to write about something other than gooey chocolate desserts to tantalize your loved one. I want to write about love. And why not? Today is the day of love! At least Hallmark’s version of it, but we suck it up every year, don’t we?

Since I write about food I thought, “Why not create a recipe for love?” I know, I know…how utterly cheesy. But, before you lose your breakfast or click ctrl + alt delete, bear with me. I got shot by Cupid’s arrow – that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

So here goes…

Recipe For Love

Mix together the following:

• A bunch of kindness and selflessness
• A whole lot of happiness, joy and hope
• Handfuls of honesty and integrity
• Equal amounts of loyalty, respect and devotion
• Mix in forgiveness and understanding
• Add a healthy amount of gratitude, humility and generosity
• Fold in handfuls of tenderness and adoration
• Season to taste with humor and laughter
• Add a pinch or two of silliness (I obviously add a great deal of this)

Combine above ingredients together and sift out judgment, grudges, bitterness and hate.
Feel free to add more of a particular ingredient. It will only add to the flavor.
Bake for a lifetime.
Be sure to taste the results first to savor your creation.
Share with your loved ones, then keep the leftovers on a pretty dish for the rest of the world to enjoy.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
