It's almost here! Heart-shaped food day!
Most of you probably call Feb. 14 "Valentine's Day," but around here? It's heart-shaped food day.
Here are ideas on celebrating the kids you love all day on heart-shaped food day — for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and of course ... dessert!
A Heart-y Breakfast: Heart-Shaped Eggs
You could do heart-shaped pancakes easily — all you need is a cookie cutter or heat-safe mold — but why stop there? These heart-shaped boiled eggs are easy to make, and your family will be sure to tell you how egg-cellent you are for making them.

What you'll need:
- Freshly hard-boiled eggs
- A piece of stiff cardboard (a box or an empty and cleaned juice or milk carton works great!) shaped into a V-shape about the height of an egg
- Chopsticks
- Rubber bands
- Plastic wrap
Directions:
- Wrap your just-peeled eggs in plastic wrap.
- Place inside the V-shaped cardboard.
- Lay a chopstick on top of the eggs.
- Wrap the rubber band securely around the chopstick and cardboard so the egg is nestled tightly between them.
- Refrigerate for about 2 hours.
Cut in half and serve with toast and berries to your egg-ceptional Valentine!
