Heart-Shaped Sandwiches, Fruits, and Vegetables
Eila Johnson at The Full Plate Blog uses heart-shaped cookie cutters to shape sandwiches and red pepper slices. It makes eating your vegetables on Valentine's Day a whole lot more fun.
Bread with Heart-Shaped Hole
To make fried eggs on toast special on Valentine's Day, cut out a heart-shaped hole in the bread first. Toast the bread, buttered on both sides, in a hot, buttered sauté pan and crack an egg in the hole. Cook until the egg is just firm, then flip and quickly cook the second side. Serve immediately.
Heart-Shaped Sugar Cookies
Decorate sugar cookies cut into heart shapes with white, pink, and red frostings and sprinkles for an edible Valentine's Day treat.
Heart-Shaped Croutons
To dress up your standard green salad on Valentine's Day, make heart-shaped croutons. Brush both sides of mini heart-shaped pieces of bread with butter, and then toast until golden on both sides. We would also add a little pink to the salad by punching out heart-shaped pieces of beet and tossing the hearts with the greens.
Heart-Shaped Cupcakes
Maybe you have a mini heart-shaped cake pan on hand to make heart-shaped cupcakes for Valentine's Day; if not (we don't), don't let it stop you. Decorate plain cupcakes with a variety of heart decorations, of course in pink, white, and red colors.
Heart-Shaped Fried Rice
If you're dining out, hibachi-style, on Valentine's Day, ask for your fried rice to be cooked in the shape of a heart.
Heart-Shaped Schnitzel
While this person might have gotten lucky when they purchased their cutlet for schnitzel, you can also try shaping any cutlet of meat into a heart shape before breading and frying it for a special Valentine's Day dinner surprise.
Conversation Hearts Shortbread
For a fun alternative to heart-shaped sugar cookies, create larger-sized conversation heart cookies with shortbread. Simply divide the batch of dough into pieces and add a drop or two of food coloring to lightly tint the dough.
Heart-Shaped Toast
One of the simplest — and our favorite — ways to make everyday food special on Valentine's Day is to make heart-shaped toast, spread with almond butter and red raspberry jam, for breakfast.
Heart-Shaped Meatloaf
Show your love for your family by shaping meatloaf into a heart on Valentine's Day.
