Does anyone have recipes they do during February for a more Valentine friendly theme? I want to be able to use the stoneware too.
 
I generally do a LOT of chocolate recipes in February "Chocolate is for Lovers" and garnish with whipped cream *& strawberries
 
Me too - I also do a Chocolate Theme in February
Its not stoneware, but I do a lot of the Molten Chocolate Skillet Brownies. I let each guest garnish with whipping cream in the EAD.
The Chocolate Pecan Lattice Tart from the current Seasons Best would be good on the large round stone - garnish the same way and show off the stoneware which is on special. Its such an easy and great recipe.

Its not stoneware, but the floral silicone pan. Melt some colored chocolates ( red,white etc...) put them in it & let them set. :D
 
I'm going to suggest things from Cooking for Two as good Valentine recipes. Or chocolate... :D
 
I need Valentine themed game ideas for a girls only show. PLEASE help. My show is this Friday.

I would do the chocolate lava cake in the rice cooker plus, then use strawberries (slice with the egg slicer) to make "hearts" with.

Or you can make a "your love turns me upside down pineapple cake" from seasons best using the 12 in skillet & the pineapple slicer.
