Don't let anybody tell you that you can't eat queso on Valentine's day. 

If you'll be alone this Valentine's day but you'd still like to treat yourself to something special, we've got you covered with a French-inspired meal for one. Stir up a cocktail, tear open a good loaf of bread, and end everything with a healthy slice of chocolate cake. 

The steaks are nigh and the stakes are high. This week, take the pressure off by preparing a steakhouse-worthy meal at home.

Romance is great and all, but there's nothing like knowing your friends have your back. Forget about that significant other (or lack thereof) and rally up your troop of friends: this Valentine's Day, it's time for a night in with good friends, bad movies, booze, and cake. 

Romance gets all the attention for Valentine's day, but what about platonic love? Celebrate your beloved friends, your caring family, and even your tolerable coworkers with these nine edible treats.

Treat your sweetie -- or yourself -- to a repast in repose.

Dust off your stove. Warm up your oven. And if all goes wrong, there's always champagne.
