A chocolate cupcake with pink frosting and lots of heart-shaped sugar candies.

I realize this topic may be a little more suited to Valentine's Day, but I think we should treat every day as Valentine's Day. Besides, I am a firm believer in the saying that food is love.

Eric over at the Jew and the Carrot was reminiscing with his parents about the home made latkes his mother used to make for his father. This led to the question, posed to readers, of how you might show your love with food. I personally like to make my special chocolate cookies for new boyfriends, and birthday cakes for family and friends. Also, every Christmas I like to make special goody packages for close relatives that live far away.

So, if food is love, how do you show your love?

I always make my husband something I know he loves when we've had a particularly nasty fight and I'm trying to make good. the way to a man's heart, after all, is through a nice plate of biscuits and gravy...

I make my love heart shaped pancakes, but also when I proposed to him (Feb 29th and all that) I had all his favourites: cold meats, great cheese and bread (easy!) definitely the way to his heart!

I like to send packages of cookies and goodies home to family on their birthdays, and for my boyfriend - thats easy: my homemade cinnamon buns.
