Happy almost Valentine's Day, Reader! When it comes to Valentine's Day, I feel like there are two kinds of recipes: The ones that make cute little hearts out of everything in shades of red and pink, and the ones that overload on chocolate. I love both, but I have more far more chocolate recipes than heart recipes on my website, so I guess that tells you where my preferences lie! Speaking of, did you know that you can add The Floral Apron as a preferred source on Google? You might have noticed that if you search for a keyword like "small batch focaccia," my focaccia recipe will sometimes show up at the top of the search results. And other times, you may have to scroll for a bit until you find mine. If you add me as a preferred source, though, Google will prioritize showing you my easy-to-follow recipes with cleanup ratings when you search for a recipe idea! You can even add some of your other favorite bloggers and websites, too 🥰 It's free, and it helps Google provide you with more relevant search results! That said, I'm sharing my favorite chocolatey Valentine's Day recipes below to save you a search ;) Valentine's FavoritesIf non-chocolatey Valentine's Day recipes are more your thing (like Linzer cookies or red velvet cupcakes), I put all of my Valentine's Day recipes in one spot for you! May your Valentine's Day be full of cute lil hearts and chocolate. Happy baking! P.S. If you make any of these recipes, it would mean the world if you leave a review of how the recipe turned out! It goes a long way to let others know it's a tried and trusted recipe 💛 |

Hey, Reader! I'm not sure what it's like where you are, but it feels like spring here in California's Central Valley!

Happy December, Reader! Every time I think of Christmas cookies, I think of the failed batch of gingerbread cookies that my mom and I made (rather, attempted to make) years ago. We made a handful of different cookies that year from a well-known magazine—including three-color pinwheels that turned out great!—but for some reason, the gingerbread dough turned into a literal brick in the fridge. We tried rolling it out, and it wouldn't budge at all. We thought letting it sit out might soften it....
