jenifoto/iStockMost of us can agree that the best way to start off Valentine's Day is with a delicious, homemade, and probably indulgent breakfast. Maybe it's breakfast in bed like in the movies, or maybe it's out on the patio, or perhaps just in the good ol' kitchen. Whatever it is, we all know that Valentine's Day provides the potential to eat adorable heart-shaped foods and savor the moment — even if we're our own valentines. It's also a great excuse to start off the day with something chocolaty. Yum.
