Everyone knows that Valentine’s Day is synonymous with chocolate. It’s the food of love. Who doesn’t melt a little when presented with one of those precious little heart-shaped boxes on this day when we celebrate love and romance? But, chocolate isn’t only for the sentimental. It’s big business too. In fact, in these days leading up to V-Day, American consumers are expected to buy more than 58 million pounds of chocolate, and shell out around $345 million dollars to do it. That’s a lot of chocolate!

But what about those of us, myself included, whose sweethearts don’t have a sweet tooth? (Yes, Mr. SGCC, I’m talking about you!) Don’t they deserve a rich, delicious, velvety chocolate token of your affection too? I think so, and that is why I’m excited to share this pasta dish with you. read more >>

I hope that you enjoy yourself while you’re here, and visit often! read more >>
