How to make Valentines Day dinner special for your family
There are lots of ways to plan a fun Valentines Day dinner for your family. Consider adding a few special touches like:
- Set the table with special dishes or tablecloth
- Add a vase of flowers or greenery
- Light candles or battery powered candles for younger kids
- Play music
- Don't forget dessert!
What to cook for the kids on Valentine's Day?
It can be hard to think of a kid friendly Valentines day meal. While there are a ton of fun Valentine's day recipes, I suggest that you focus on things you KNOW your kids will eat.
This is not the best time for new, weird foods. I mean, I would love a lobster tail, but my preschoolers would be horrified.
Instead, stick to fun recipes that take their favorite things and cut them into heart shapes or Valentines colors. Simple swaps to make the food as appealing as possible to tiny eaters.
