Happy Valentine's day everyone. Hope everyone on the east coast is safe and sound. In our house, to brighten up the winter, we celebrate every holiday imaginable. From Epiphany to Cinco de Mayo, covering everything in between. We decorate the house and make a special dish related to the holiday. But one of my favorite holidays to celebrate is Valentine's day. It's a day to show your appreciation and love to the ones you love, including yourself. For us, it has never been about over-the-top gifts or out-of-this-world dates. It is about spending time together as a family.
To make this day even more fun, I literally turn everything into hearts. This simple brownie recipe is easily made more special by using heart-shaped cookie cutters and pie pans.
The kids lunches are overflowing with love and hearts. Using the same pie pans, I made heart-shaped sandwiches.
We eat most meals at the kitchen island, because we feel closer together than at the dining table. It also feels more casual and conducive to better conversation. For Valentine's day, I usually give my husband and kids a small chocolate from our local chocolatier. I make small place cards and give each of them a small love note.
Whether it be from you partner, your kids or even just treating yourself to your favourite treats, may your Valentine be filled with hearts and love!
Thanks for reading,
Amelie
