If you missed the boat…..there’s still time to plan a spectacular Valentine’s Day at home. This morning at the HEB in Boerne, they had fresh selections of everything from long-stemmed roses to profiteroles. If you don’t cook, their premade food section has plenty of “pretend you made it” choices to please anyone’s palate. Just trash the takeout containers, pop it in the oven and plate it. You can do the same for restaurant take-out from the special spots we love.

Need a menu idea for the evening? Go to the foodnetork.com and you can find the recipes for just about any dish on the planet. They even have a Valentine’s Day category with ideas galore. Check out this link:
