The "Food With Heart" Story

It was an ordinary day.  Got my Valentine Card and a Russel Stover candy bar to go along with a silk scarf for my wife for Valentine's day (Please don't give her a call, since it is a surprise, you know).  Also might try to make either breakfast, lunch or dinner for her using some of the ideas that I found on Pinterest.  I want all my food choices to resemble a heart, thus the reason for what I have chosen.  Gonna have to share a few with you in case you may want to make something special for your Valentine tomorrow.  Hope these may help impress the one you love.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.

You can never go wrong with starting with bacon and this looks pretty easy.  

I'm sure I can do this one.  I got the Cinnabon rolls from the grocery store and will shape them as  a heart.  Will have to make more than one of these, since I'm sure Carol will want me to eat one also.

The bottom looks as if it is a piece of cheese then a pepper shaped as a heart with a dippy egg in the center.  Looks neat, but I'm not sure I can accomplish this cooking feat. 

This one I know I can do!  French toast is easy to make and I'm good with a scissors and cutting the bread.  The strawberry also carries the heart shape, but I'm not sure how the scroll work is done.  Would probably leave that off.

Carol has a cookie cutter shaped like a heart so I can probably make the pancakes and egg, but she only has one size cutter so both the pancakes and egg will have to be the same size.  Strawberry's easy.

The next 2 would be lunch choices and I won't have lunch with her on Valentine's Day, but I thought these would be neat for anyone else who might be sharing lunch with their Valentine.  Easy to cut the bun with the scissors as well as the burger.  May take a bit longer to cut potatoes in the heart shape.  I probably would buy the sliced potatoes in a can.

I'm thinking this may be the hardest chore of the day, but it really looks neat.  A small, sharp knife will be needed with a steady hand.  

I may start the evening meal with a cucumber salad that would look like this.  Can't be that hard to cut cucumbers in a heart shape.

Carol and I both love mussels and they are kinda shaped like a heart, aren't they.  I have eaten they many times, but have never made them.  Can't be that hard!

I'm good at roasted veggies and many of them look like hearts.  I know I could use a few red beets, but I also know that I shouldn't try to roast them the entire time with the rest of the veggies.  Would do those separately and add at the end.  Boy, would they add a neat touch being heart shaped and red.

This Porterhouse steak looks neat shaped as a heart.  I'm not sure if this is how it was purchased or if I would have to cut it myself.  

Dessert will probably be this chocolate molten lava cake which I'm sure I will have to find somewhere, since there's no chance in @#&% that I can make this.  I'm sure she'd love it though.

Just in case I can't find the above mentioned, I certainly can take a tub of strawberry ice cream, slice it thin and use her cookie cutter to make this dessert.  I just have to remember to wash off the pancake batter from the cookie cutter. And, sprinkling the sugar on it is a piece of cake.  Hey, good luck if you try any of these.
