Recipe Swap “Sunday” comes a day early this week, with some Valentine’s recipes that tempted my taste buds:

• A “Fishy Valentine” from Dish-trict (what, a whole fish doesn’t scream romance to you?)
• Cute Breadstick Hearts from What’s Cooking
• Skip the pink, with an Orange Lunch from Alison’s Lunch
• Something sweet, Root Beer Bundt Cake from gas*tron*o*my
• We’ve been on a blood orange kick lately, and will surely be trying the Flaky Blood Orange Tart from Smitten Kitchen.
• Lastly, if you share my love for a stinky blue cheese, hop on over to Cheese & Champagne and enter our “Ode to Roquefort” love poem contest!
  

What are you cooking up for Valentine’s Day? We’re away from home, so will be delegating the cooking tonight!

Here are a few recipes and articles that I “clipped” from around the web this week:

• Closet Cooking’s Salmon Noodle Soup was one of my favorites from this week’s Presto Pasta Night round-up.
• Have you seen The Baker’s Bench BYOB Challenge? (that would be “b” for bread, not beer).
• Some very cute Mini Polenta Pizzas for Valentine’s Day from Tiny Morsels.
• Speaking of V-day, The Green Sister offers some romantic green tips for the holiday.
• And, my ode to Tillamook cheese on their 100th anniversary this week made the “post of the day” on their fansite.

If you’ve come across any good recipes lately, please feel free to share in the comments!

I find a lot of great new recipe ideas from the foodbloggers I follow on Twitter, and in my daily blog skimming, and instead of just saving them to my own favorites I’ve started a “recipe retweet of the day” to share what I find. For those of you who aren’t on Twitter, here’s what I’ve added to my collection recently:

• Recipe RT @sugarlaws Salmon with Fennel, Olives and Dill, link {looks amazing!}
• RecipeRT @Lelonopo “green alien” smoothies, link. {another way to eat your daily greens!}
• Today’s RecipeRT @RuthDaniels Seared Scallops with Peruvian Parsley Salsa, link {have seafood on the mind!}
