The obvious way to have a good Valentine’s this year is to buy secret chocolate and hide it from your kids. Nobody tell my family that when I bought their cards and chocolate last weekend, I bought myself some too and ate it in the car before I even got home. Whoops! Even more fun, buy it the day after on clearance. When I asked my husband what he thought would make a fun Valentine’s at home, he said buying your significant other a new gaming console. I’ll take that under advisement.
Now, onto the main question for this year: what to do for dinner and dessert? Here are some ideas you can do both easily and on the cheap, and where to find them locally!
Heart-Shaped Meatloaf
This is my plan for Valentine’s dinner this year! When I mentioned it to my sister, she said, “Only you would look at a cake pan and think, ‘I’m gonna put a meatloaf in that!'” But I think I saw it somewhere on the internet, so I know there must be other people out there who would love a heart-shaped meatloaf.
Aldi Heart Pizza
You really can’t go wrong with pizza, especially when it’s in the shape of a heart and from Aldi.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Classic and sweet, making chocolate covered strawberries could be a fun activity for you and your honey, or for the whole family!

Heart Cake
You already have the heart pan for the meatloaf, you might as well bake a cake in it first!
