Today's food centerpiece is a story from The Chicago Tribune about how many points men can score by cooking for their women on Valentine's Day. Remember: Recipe links are to the right under Related Content.

In the same Valentine's theme, we offer a story from the Akron Beacon Journal about two new chocolate cookbooks. I'm intrigued by the recipe for Mint Brownie Pudding Cakes.

I have a column about Raleigh now being home to 2 artisan bean-to-bar chocolate makers: Escazu and Videri. 

Suzanne Havala Hobbs' healthy eating column, On the Table column is about school lunches.

Linda Gassenheimer's Quick Fix column offers a recipe for Picadillo, a popular Cuban dish.

We share a story from oneforthetable.com on Chicken Chili.

We share a story from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on slow cookers. The recipes include one for shredded chicken ragu.

In case you missed Debbie Moose's Sunday Dinner column about sugar packet theft, it's a must read. Go HERE.
