Valentine’s Day Dinner Idea: Heart Shaped Pizza Recipe

If you’re in a relationship, Valentine’s Day probably entails a romantic dinner. Unfortunately, if you aren’t quick, getting a reservation at a nice restaurant can be difficult if not downright impossible. If your budget is still tapped out from the holidays, the whole romantic Valentine’s Day dinner concept gets even more challenging. This year avoid crowded restaurants and expensive food in favor of a romantic, home cooked meal that includes a heart shaped pizza.

Here are some menu ideas for your romantic Valentine’s Day Dinner:

• • Appetizer – Cheese straws
  • Salad – Baby blue salad
  • Entree – Heart shaped pizza
  • Dessert – Mom’s fantastic fudge

Throw in some candles, dim lighting, and soft music and voila – romantic Valentine’s Day dinner.

The pièce de résistance of this Valentine’s Day dinner is the heart shaped pizza. A heart shaped pizza is cute and relatively inexpensive to make. Plus, if you have little ones and no babysitter, it’s something the whole family can have fun making together.

INGREDIENTS
