Valentine’s Day is for lovers, but I’ll leave that part for you to figure out. It’s sometimes mocked as just a way for greeting card companies, florists and candy retailers to make money, but I like to look at it a different way. It’s a day for families and friends to focus on their love for each other and deepen their connections.
We have a long-standing tradition in our family to do a “pink food” day (luckily, we don’t have red food dye allergies). For us, that means meatloaf (with “pink” barbecue sauce on top), pink mashed potatoes, pink rolls, red Jell-O and pink fluff.
