Bring a bit of vintage charm to your Valentine’s Day celebration with one of these delicious vintage Valentine’s Day desserts. There is something for everyone.
It’s no secret that I love vintage recipes. It’s like a bit of history we can hold and taste. I like to think about the people that would have been making these recipes when I make them.
So many of them have been passed down for years in families. They hold so many memories and love. I love when you can also find the family stories that go along with the recipes.
Now we can start adding our own stories to these recipes and keep passing them down. For me I love making vintage desserts like these for a nice date night at home. My husband is always happy to taste test a vintage recipe I’ve been trying out.
Any of these recipes would be perfect for a little Valentine’s Day celebrate at home. It’s a great way to celebrate without all the crowds and you know you’ll still be fed well.
