Have I mentioned I love Valentine's Day? Every year Jack and I celebrate the holiday and our wedding anniversary by staying at a B&B the weekend before February 14th.

Our friends Jim and Frankie always join us because their wedding anniversary is on February 13th.
This year we stayed at the Inn at Sacred Clay Farm in Lanesboro, Minnesota--about a 2 1/2 hour drive for us. It's worth a visit just to see the architecture--imagine a four-story house with post-and-beam construction on 100 scenic acres in bluff country.

We enjoyed our dinner on Saturday night, catered by local chef, Meg Olson, who runs The Vintage, a restaurant in downtown Lanesboro. We dined on one of the best 5-course meals we have ever had at a B&B.

On Sunday morning, we had a delicious breakfast with a yummy egg dish topped with a red pepper sauce and served with sesame seeds asparagus and bacon.
If you look closely, on the small white plate, you will see the Chocolate Cherry Scone our hosts served us. I've requested the recipe but haven't received it yet.

So instead, I'll share with you our recipes for Chocolate Cherry Muffins and Cherry-Chocolate Chip Scones. One of these hot muffins or scones would be a great way to start anyone's Valentine's Day.
