Every year my husband and I forgo the V-Day crowds and cook a special meal at home where we can celebrate the two of us. We try to create something beyond the norm that is extra special and usually involves a collaborative 3-course menu. It has become a tradition that we never want to stop.
This Valentine’s Day at home I thought we would get a little cutesy and create a meal that focuses on the shape of February: the heart. Cheesy, I know but once the search for heart-shaped food started I couldn’t stop.
Cook your way to a healthy heart with these heart-inspired recipes that will have you loading up on fiber, antioxidants and omega-3’s…food from the heart, for the heart!
