Fuel Your Day With This Romantic Breakfast Idea
If this year's sweetest day falls during the week you still need to eat breakfast. Heart shaped pancakes with strawberry syrup or preserves are a quick and thoughtful way to start the day for the both of you.
Heart Shaped Pancakes
- Pancake batter for four small pancakes
- Heart-shaped pancake mold
- Butter
- Your favorite red preserves, fresh raspberries, or strawberries.
For super rushed mornings buy some pre-made toaster cook style pancakes and cut them out with the cookie cutter. Although the freshly made ones taste better and making them yourself may get you extra points for the effort.

Get creative this year and put some thought into
