Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Are you ready?

Whether you're celebrating this special holiday with friends, family, a significant other, or in the company of yourself, let's make it a day to get a little fancy and enjoy some decadence, shall we?

While some of you may choose to go out on Valentine's Day, I prefer to stay in. After years of working in restaurants and bakeries, I know the craziness of this holiday. From the service side of it, this holiday is not very fun.

So I'll be cooking a romantic vegan meal at home this year. If you're staying in like me, I've made it a little bit easier. I've rounded up some of my favorite Vegan Valentine's Day Recipes from the blog. Here you'll find mouth-watering recipes from breakfast to dessert and everything in between to make it a delicious and decadent day of love.
