Sweet or savory...here are 20+ treats to make that day special!
That romantic day that everyone either loves or hates is almost here! I find that people who are in love, generally love it, and those that aren't in love, generally hate it.
The husband and I don't normally go all out, mainly because his birthday is a couple of days prior, but we do celebrate. I often make his favorite homemade strawberry cheesecake and I'll whip up something fun for the kids. Heart shaped pancakes, strawberries and whip cream, French toast topped with blueberries or cut-out heart shaped sandwiches in their lunch boxes.
Here's the thing. Even if it is a holiday that doesn't otherwise excite you, make it fun anyway. Especially if you have kids! Show them how much you love them. They'll really enjoy it and I can almost bet it will start your day off right.
Because trust me, starting your day off positive is a game changer.
Here we go! Pick out a few of these and let your family decide which one you should make for Valentine's Day. They're a load of fun!
