With Valentine’s Day around the corner and people scrambling to make reservations, it can get one thinking about how hard this holiday can be. Sure, it’s great to show a little extra love and appreciation on Valentine’s Day, but expectations can be high. Instead of having this pressure to be “in love” one day out of the year, let’s practice the thought behind Valentine’s Day throughout the year.
Make time for your loved ones every day and the need to experience it all in one just might vanish. A great way to do this and show someone you care is with food. They say, “the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach”! It’s not just about the food itself, though. It’s about taking the time to create something out of love and enjoying it together. Bonding over good food and conversation is good for the soul. Research even suggests that couples who work together in the kitchen have stronger relationships and better communication skills over the long haul.
I’m personally loving the idea of cooking together this Valentine’s Day! And it can easily be done with PlateJoy!

Happy Cooking!
Cooking up a meal together sounds like fun. Having all the stuff you need provided already is definitely good.
I actually prefer to be in the kitchen by myself. I would do this with my daughter though! lol (Can you tell I’ve been married awhile?!)
These are also the most relaxing.?
Dinner at home on V-day is what my husband and I prefer. We always keep it simple with a good ol’ Stoffer’s Lasagna, salad and a bottle of wine. We might go out for a treat the weekend before or after.?
