How do I choose the right Valentine’s recipe?
It helps to think less about impressing and more about what sounds enjoyable to make.
A simple way to decide:
- Short on time → dipped strawberries or mug cake
- Want something warm → red velvet lava cakes
- Baking for more than two people → brownies or cookies
There’s no wrong choice, just different ways to enjoy something homemade.
