Celebrating Valentines Day with your family can be so much fun! Young children are so impressed by those little things you do. Teenagers may act like they think your ideas are cheesy, but they love the attention too.
Put a little LOVE into breakfast! - Try adding a little red or pink food coloring to your milk. (you can also just use strawberry milk, but that adds more sugar to the already overloaded day!) Use a heart shaped cookie cutter to shape toast. Make heart shaped pancakes.
Loveable treats! - bake a batch of brownies in a larger pan to make a thinner layer… when cooled, cut with heart shaped cookie cutters. Sugar Cookies are always popular - make a template and cut out a plate sized cookie for your sweetheart. How about making rice crispy treats and adding red food coloring to the melted marshmallow.
Dinner! - Think red & pink…. spaghetti, lasagna, salsa chicken, any main dish with a red theme. You COULD color an Alfredo sauce pink. Red or pink Jello, Tomatoes, raspberries or strawberries. Try shaping pats of butter into heart shapes for rolls.
Chocolate! - If chocolate is your love, a simple chocolate fondue is wonderful. Melt a few Hershey Bars or a bag of chocolate chips in a microwave or in the oven on a low setting… dip sliced banana’s, strawberries, marshmallows, apples, pretzels, cookies, etc. If you’d like a thinner chocolate, stir in a spoonful of shortening or oil.
Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
