But there's more to this love-filled holiday than just store-bought treats. Sure, the sugary confections make a great Valentine's Day gift 🎁, but when it comes to finishing off your Valentine's Day dinner 🍽, nothing says "I love you❤️" quite like a homemade Valentine's Day dessert🍰. .

"You’ll never get bored when you try something n "You’ll never get bored when you try something new. There’s really no limit to what you can do." - Dr.Seuss. . After beginning the year with a Veganjanuary 🌱 challenge, which lasted for months, I continued to experiment in the comfort of my kitchen. Dozens of disaster desserts and many milestones later, I look back at 2021 with fondness. . Amid the matcha 🍵 madness, dessert domes, my humble introduction of sweet and savory Za’atar bread, and a multitude of French 🇫🇷 culinary adventures, our Insta family has crossed the 100k mark. . It feels surreal to connect with so many passionate people in this corner I call my virtual home 🏠. . Old followers and friends will remember that cooking 👩🏻‍🍳was never my thing. It was a riddle I wasn’t interested in solving. Plus, it looked a tad dull from my side of the table when I considered the effort that went into it. . Times have changed, and so have I💁🏻‍♀️. . In the present, I count the hours to the weekend. Having a full-time job means that those are the only days I can experiment in the kitchen. After spending the whole week on a 9 to 6:30 schedule, baking feels therapeutic 🧘🏻‍♀️. It’s not easy to cook, style, and photograph Instagram-worthy desserts. . My husband sees the frenzy side of my cooking ventures that feature multiple test batches😵‍💫, tears, and hours of planning. While you, my dear followers, keep my passion for baking alive🤗. . Your regular comments on every post and special remarks add another layer of sweetness to my creations💞. You inspire me to present new renditions of our favorite classic recipes and incorporate guilt-free ingredients to boost the health quotient. I have grown as a cook (and person) 💪🏼in the last year because I had a loving community 🥰around me. Thank you for brightening my feed with messages and trying my recipes. I feel honored to be part of your cooking journey. . As the year ends, let’s vow to enjoy 2022🥂 with the same enthusiasm and optimism. Happy New Year 🎉! . #newyear #plantbased #vegan #dessert #pastry #homemade #bakingathome #instabake #madefromscratch #foodphotoshoot #foodstylist #foodphotographer #bakerofinstagram #tasty #inspiration #healthyfood
