Valentine's Day is a day for celebrating love. But for those of us not in love, it becomes a day for celebrating other kinds of love. We celebrate our love for family, friends, friends who are family, and family who are friends... Personally, I celebrate a very special love, one that I hold close to my heart. It's a love that's always there for me - to cherish my triumphs; to console my disappointments; to savor quiet moments with, over a book or a cup of coffee; to share experiences and keep company, comfy on the couch on a Saturday night, a favorite movie playing on the TV. You might argue that our relationship is unhealthy, that we spend too much time together...I would argue that there's no such thing. This love has seen me at my best and my worst and everything in between, and we have yet to tire of each other. I doubt we ever will.

...I'm talking about chocolate, of course.

Friends and family are great but really all I have on the brain on Valentine's Day is chocolate. More than anything, Valentine's Day - for me, anyway - is about celebrating my unconditional, everlasting love for chocolate. By creating as many excuses to eat chocolate as possible.

Here's your first. It all starts with breakfast. There are so many ways to sneak chocolate into your morning meal: muffins, scones, pancakes... and, obviously, DONUTS.

(I don't know about you, but just looking at these beauties causes my brain to lapse into a Homer-like trance state where all I can think is "Dooooonuuuuuuts.")
