Heart Shaped Breakfast Waffles
Why not start the morning off right with heart shaped waffles. Waffle batter is pretty easy to make. You can either use a product like Bisquick and simply add milk, eggs and vegetable oil, or you can whip up waffles from scratch with a recipe like this one. The secret ingredient to making homemade waffles delicious is a 1/2 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract.
Add some delicious strawberry syrup or raspberry topping to the breakfast table, and your family is sure to be singing your praises all day long.

These mozzarella hearts really are a cool "twist" on the mozzarella sticks that are popular appetizers in so many family restaurants.
Valentines Peep Pops
Another fun and easy treat would be these Peep Pops.
Brianna gives us excellent instructions with lots of photos so we can makes these specialty chocolate goodies.
It is truly amazing how many different shapes are available in our favorite "Peeps" these days. They certainly allow us to make a lot of really awesome and tasty gifts by serving as the foundation for specially made designs.
I never could make myself eat the little chicks, but I have no trouble devouring the Peeps hearts.
Valentine's Day Chocolate Mice
I am sure it will come as no surprise to anyone that one of my own personal favorites has to be these Chocolate Covered Cherry Mice!

A Special Treat for our Feathered Friends
We certainly don't want to forget to make a special treat for our backyard birds. They are always so faithful to sing to us and to add beauty to our ordinary days.Chrysa provides us with directions and a recipe to make a Valentine Bird Feeder Heart.
Many of us experience extreme cold, snow and ice during the month of February. These hearts are fun and easy to make. They are a wonderful way to say thank you to our outdoor "friends" as and a beautiful way to provide food during the winter months.
Heart Shaped Cake
Last, but my no means least, I want to share the gift I enjoy making for my own family each Valentine's Day.
Heart shaped cakes are easy to make with the right pans and they can be made in any flavor of cake and icing. Over the years, I have made pink and red icing for the cakes, but my husbands' favorite is a simple German Chocolate cake in the shape of a heart.
