Happy Valentines Day - Plus Crabmeat Stuffed Potatoes

What are you doing for Valentine Day? Are you cooking for your honey? Maybe cooking together. Don't have a special Valentine this year. It really doesn't matter, it's a day of love. We all have someone we love, and nothing says I love you better than something from your kitchen.

Maybe you have a neighbor or friend that's alone today. Don't let them feel like they are forgotten. A few cookies in a bag tied with a pink or red ribbon. Red Velvet Cupcakes always make a nice gift.

Dinner doesn't have to be Prime Rib of Beef Tenderloin, it can be meatloaf or a baked chicken. The only requirement is that it's prepared with love, maybe a few candles on the table.

You could make your vegetable extra special. Men love these potatoes!
