What can I make for Valentine's dinner that is something you have on a regular day just more festive looking?!

Instead of making the food a certain way, how about decorating the table? Use heart shaped place mats, lit candles with nice music, and tape a card to the bottom of his plate to surprise him.

I did the heart shaped meatloaf with pink mashed potatoes once, but it was for my kids.

The link is heart shaped chicken pot pies, they are so cute! but alot of trouble!

or you can buy heart shaped pasta, or make your own ravoli in a heart shape,

or breakfast for dinner with heart shaped pancakes, strawberries etc.

how about salad then maybe salmon? or maybe you can cook pasta with garlic bread
for dessert: chocolate dipped strawberries?

I'm thinking chicken parm is a nice meal to serve for Valentine's day....make the table dramatic by using a black tablecloth (or even just get some material from fabric store, cut with pinking shears to fit)---add a small vase with a flower (silver or glass will do)...use red cloth napkins (again..use fabric and cut if you don't want to buy ready-made)...tie up with white ribbon. OR: set up table with dinnerware and tie a red ribbon around the whole place setting with napkin rolled on top positioned up and down (not crosswise). Have a salad bowl setting on the dinner plate with napkin .....serve a nice salad with the chicken parm. Can even dress up your salad using red pomegranate seeds for color>>they're like nature's jewels.

You know, you can even find ribbon with hearts on it to use for the "wrapping"...white with red hearts. Have a basket of crusty bread to serve also--you can find those thin plastic hearts to put it in as a serving piece...or go with the glass or the silver accents if you have it.

Let dessert be what you both enjoy....fancy it up by drizzling chocolate in a zig-zag fashion on the plate and garnishing with a couple raspberries.
