Forgot Valentine's Day? Don't Panic - I've Got You Covered! ❤️


Hi Reader,

If you're reading this on Valentine's Day morning with a mild sense of panic... breathe! I'm here on a romantic rescue mission. 🚀

I've got three (quick and easy) recipes that'll make it look like you've been planning this for weeks (your secret is safe with me 😉).

Oeufs en Cocotte

Sounds fancy? Check. ✓
Actually super easy? Double check. ✓✓
Just crack an egg into a ramekin, add some cream, herbs, and pop it in the oven. Boom - you've got a French breakfast that says "I totally didn't forget about today."

Red Velvet Mug Cake

No time to bake a whole cake? No problem! This 5-minute wonder in a mug is here to save your Valentine's Day. It's like having a fairy godmother in your microwave. The best part? You only have to wash one mug. Because nothing says romance like minimal dishes, am I right?

Heart-Shaped Ravioli

Okay, hear me out - handmade pasta is top tier romance. I'll walk you through the steps, and you can have this ready in an hour. This recipe screams "I planned this ages ago and definitely didn't just make it up this morning."

All the recipes here have short, handy-dandy recipe videos to help speed you through the process. And you can get them ready today while you're in a rush (I've tested them in various states of panic myself).

Remember: Romance isn't about perfection - it's about effort. And nothing says "I love you" quite like not setting off the smoke alarm while cooking.

Now go forth and cook with love (and slight desperation)!

Speak soon,

Riz

P.S. If all else fails, there's always takeout. But first, maybe try the mug cake? It's seriously foolproof.

P.P.S. Let me know how it goes.
