Get creative

From appetizers to entrees, we’ve seen that just about anything can be made cuter when it’s in the shape of a heart. And it doesn’t have to be super complicated either. A few heart-shaped cookie cutters can go a long way (amazon.ca, $13). Toss heart-shaped vegetables onto your favourite salad or soup, and you’ll have an adorable, no-fuss Valentine’s Day meal in moments.
