Gooey Valentine’s Day Baked S’mores

Valentine’s Day is next week and while a box of chocolates and flowers might earn you some points, you’ll definitely score by making something homemade. And you don’t even have to make something overly complicated. It’s the thought that counts, right? And these gooey baked s’mores are definitely thoughtful. Oh, and pretty freaking tasty too!

Humans like to think of themselves as a faithful species, but when it comes to true fidelity, many other animals offer better examples of how to keep a relationship together. Although monogamy and lifelong pair bonds are generally rare in the animal kingdom, there are some animals that pull it off.11 animals that mate for life

Valentine’s Day Pizza with Beets & Kale Pesto

RECIPE: http://cookingstoned.tv/recipe/valentines-day-pizza-with-beets-kale-pesto/

I couldn’t help myself. I wanted to do a Valentine’s Day recipe that was festive but not pumped full of dyes or other artificial crap. And the fact that I love beets doesn’t hurt.

Plus, think of all the different names this pizza could have. The puns are endless! Beet Still My Heart Pizza, Can You Feel My Heart Beets Pizza and Pizza Heart-On to name a few. What would you call it?
