We are having a very heart filled day. I wonder how old my boys will have to be before they start thinking heart shaped food is silly? My 12 year old still likes it (or at least acts like he does), so I think we have a few years left before heart shaped food on Valentine’s day becomes extinct at our house. 

I made Matt (and everyone else) a special breakfast of Peach Cobbler this morning. I figure…it’s fruit and I make it with sucanat and whole wheat. It’s definitely healthy enough for breakfast.

peachcobblerforvdaysmI loved seeing Matt’s face when he came down to breakfast! 
(The boys were in on it ahead of time and kept it a secret from Daddy!)

Here’s what we’re snacking on this afternoon…

Heart shaped grilled cheese, tomato soup 
Heart shaped pancakes, scrambled eggs, turkey bacon

Monday, February 15 (Justus’ birthday choices)

Mini breakfast pizzas, oranges
Taco potatoes, pears

Saturday, February 20

And now for the giveaway! 

My Peach Cobbler recipe (which was devoured in about 15 minutes this morning) is included in my Have Your Cookie…and Eat it Too! ebook. This ebook is filled with all kinds of healthy treat recipes that include only whole wheat flour and natural sugars such as honey, maple syrup or rapadura/sucanat (dehydrated cane sugar juice). My family loves these healthy treats!

    We’ve been enjoying our canned peaches lately… I’ve been stingy with them because our tree has been in an every-other-year production mode. Which means it might not give us any (many) peaches this year. But– your peach cobbler idea inspires me to use some from our freezer. Or some of the apricots I got from Azure, that I wasn’t sure what to do with. Apricot cobbler? I think we could manage that.

    Thanks for the idea (and the ebook giveaway)!

    I think the boys may not ever admit it, but I think they’re NEVER too old for heartshaped food. Besides,It’s probably good for them to have a feminine touch from their mom now and then to help them be better husbands.

    My MIL felt that she would be selfish training her boys to put the toilet seat down since she was the only female in the house. Ahem. What about ME? His future wife? and his future daughter(s)? Anyway, we’ve come to a good solution in our family over that, but I wish a few things like that had been handled by his mother. :)
