Valentine's Day is named in honor of Saint Valentine who lived during the Roman times. There is a belief that when Valentine died he left a note to his jail keeper's daughter which was signed "Your Valentine." People have been sending similar messages to their loved ones since then.

It's the time of year to celebrate romance again. Actually it's always the time of year to celebrate romance but this is the time that society at the prodding of greeting card and chocolate manufacturers sets aside especially for such amorous festivities.

Every February across the country candy flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day as we know it today contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite.

These Valentine's Day recipes are a perfect way to celebrate a special relationship or just treat yourself and your family on valentine's day. I myself like valentine's day because it can be such a cozy time of year with the fireplace crackling and the house full of good smells from baking and cooking.

Here are some tried and true recipes that will add some romance to your Valentine's Day. After all nothing says LOVING like something from the oven!

According to one legend Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death it is alleged that he wrote her a letter which he signed 'From your Valentine' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic heroic and most importantly romantic figure.
