Heart-shaped food isn’t just for Valentine’s Day—it’s a fun way to show some extra love on Mother’s Day, birthdays, or any day you want to make your family feel special. From breakfast to dinner and, of course, dessert, these heart-shaped ideas will add a little extra joy to any meal!
A Heart-y Breakfast

Heart-Shaped Eggs
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!

With or without tomato sauce, kids love the mild, spongy texture of baked polenta and the simple flavors of butter and creamy cheese.
