Love Is In The Air! Celebrate Valentine’s Day With “Bacon Roses” and “Love Burgers”!
It’s my annual Valentine’s Day treat: the most delicious ways to say “I LOVE YOU” to that special person in your life!
Let’s begin with this perfectly shaped Valentine’s Day burger!
Behold The “LOVEBURGER!”
It surely is a burger to love: a nicely formed heart-shaped patty and bun that says “I love you!” And why not?
It’s not difficult to mold your favorite cheeseburger into a “love burger”!
Simply bake rolls that you formed into “heart shapes”, and voila a “love bun!”
Cook two heart shaped patties, add some melty cheese and a bed of lettuce…I add pickles, onion, tomato and bacon – because it’s Valentine’s Day – and it’s “love in a bun!”
It’s just one of the many “tasty ways” to celebrate Valentine’s Day!
Two years ago I made my wife Alex “caviar three ways” for Valentine’s Day:
First, it was caviar on blinis with creme fraiche and smoked salmon, followed by a “Hasselbeck” potato:
A thinly slice potato based and topped with caviar….and then I finished with this:
A Caviar-Topped Cheeseburger!
That’s a classic Dick’s cheeseburger from Seattle – and I had them flown down to me, because they are a favorite – and “caviar-topped” ANYTHING is delicious!

Behold The Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift – BACON!
There are all kinds of sexy ways to say “I love you” this Valentine’s day – like this amazingly creative use of bacon! And so easy: just “shape it and bake it!”
And here’s a really unique recipe for Valentine’s Day:
Make Your Own Bacon Roses!
I found this on the great website “TheDailyBacon”…and they posted a recipe for how to win your lover’s heart – through the magic of bacon!
You’ll need: bacon, fake flowers, a muffin tin, toothpicks and tinfoil.
1. Soak the toothpicks in water (this keeps them from charring in the oven). Defrost the bacon. Line the muffin tin with foil. Turn the oven up to 400 degrees.
2. Roll the bacon to look like a rosebud, then stick two toothpicks in the bottom to hold it together.
3. Place the bacon rosebuds in the muffin spaces. The toothpicks should keep them from touching the bottom — you need that space for fat drippings.
4. Put the bacon in the oven. Cook 25-30 minutes.
5. Deconstruct the fake flowers. Pull the entire thing apart, get rid of the petals and put the stem back together.
6. Let the bacon cool, remove the toothpicks and stick the bacon bud onto the plastic stem. Voilà! Salty, crunchy flowers.
I love how simple and fun this is…not sure I can make scrambled eggs in a heart shape, but I will try anything!
If bacon’s not your thing – although I’ll never understand why – you can also have Lou Malnati’s pizza in Chicago make you this:
You can order these directly from the restaurant and have them shipped to you – a nice gesture and delicious as well!
And of course, you’ll need something to drink as well:
Open a nice bottle of red and call it a tasty night! Or, go to Marks & Spencer and buy some of their unique Valentine’s Day gifts:
Yes, a cucumber grown in a special mold so it looks like a heart! They also offer up a sausage shaped like a heart:
