Valentine’s Flakes: Heart Shaped Food

Happy Valentine’s Day!

In my world, that means I helped make a giraffe and a fox Valentine’s boxes, bought treats and paper goods for my kids’ parties, helped them assemble their Valentine’s and got together something for my students.

Today will be our last holiday party of the year, which will be a lot, but the kid’s love it so it’s fun too.

Then I will go home to go to dinner with my three guys.

While I am sure I’m not cooking I was curious about what could make the best heart shaped dinner. If I was going to create something, it’d probably start with a charcuterie board of heart shaped cheeses, some baked brie, salami, heart shaped pretzels, Valentine’s heart shaped jelly beans, and chocolate covered strawberries.

Sushi hearts would be a good addition for the main meal, but I’m not making that. So maybe just a heart shaped pizza.

Then I would end it all with heart shaped mini cheesecakes.

This wouldn’t really be the most delicious dinner I can think of, but it would check all of the boxes in this house.

Even if you don’t want to do all of those things I do recommend you get a Reese’s heart or just skip on to the GOAT the Reese’s Egg, The peanut butter to chocolate ratio is just so much better with the egg.
