Love is in the air, everything is covered in pink, red and white. Flowers and candy by the bags and bunches. Reservations have been made, cards have been signed and maybe even a few engagement rings have been purchased.
Whatever your day brings, I hope you give love more than you are receiving it. Smile at the stranger you pass by, do something for someone you work with that makes you go out of your way. Make Valentine's day be about just caring for everyone in your life.
And....enjoy something sweet (in moderation of course). Try this delicious and healthier version of my favorite Valentine's Day treat.

8 ounces fat-free cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups dry red velvet cake mix
