Spending The Festival of Love and Romance with your significant others need not be expensive. Spend it at home and let that day be the most unforgettable ever.

    Next to Christmas, Valentine’s Day is unarguably the most commercialized celebration around the world. Also called The Festival of Love and Romance, Valentine’s Day is celebrated around the world by expressing love to sweethearts, spouses and friends. However, customs and traditions of celebrating it vary by country because of social and cultural differences.

    There are different popular and interesting legends of Valentine's Day. Some legends trace the origin to pagan times while others link it to Saints of early Christian Church. Another belief on its origin is the beginning of the birds mating season during the Middle Ages.

    So, what are your plans for this year's Valentine’s Day? How about spending it at home with your family or with your spouse? This day need not be expensive to make it special…or romantic. Surprise your loved ones with heart-shaped foods. Make the whole day extra special without having to reach for your wallet. Look at your pantry and refrigerator and think of the foods you can cook for for your family and shape into hearts.

    Let your family wake up to a breakfast of heart-shaped eggs and pancakes or waffles. No heart-shaped egg and pancake molds? Not a problem! Simply trim and shape into hearts. Do you have heart-shaped bowls? Now is the perfect time to put the kids’ breakfast cereals on them.

    For lunch or dinner, how about heart-shaped rice with heart-shaped meatloaf or instead of shaping into balls, shape the meatballs into small hearts. Do the same with your veggies--carve the potatoes, carrots and leaves into hearts.

    Many foods in our kitchen can be formed into hearts so go ahead and experiment, have fun and…a Happy Valentines Day to all!

    與重要的人一起渡過一個充滿愛意而浪漫的節日根本不需要費錢。待在家里吧，使它變成最令人難忘的日子。

    毫無疑問，情人節是世界上僅次于圣誕節最具商業性的慶祝活動。它也被稱為愛情和浪漫的節日。全世界的人都慶祝情人節，向心上人、愛人和朋友表達愛意。然而因為社交和文化的差異，不同國家有著不同的慶祝風俗和傳統。

    關于情人節有著各種普遍而有趣的傳說。有些傳說可以追溯到信奉異教的時代。當時人們把它與早期基督教會的圣徒聯系起來。另一種說法起源于中世紀時期關于鳥類的交配季節的開始。

    那，今年情人節您有什么打算呢？跟家人或愛人待在家里怎么樣？你不需要花大錢來制造特殊或浪漫。可以用心形的食品使你的愛人感到驚喜。不必傾囊而出使整個一天顯得格外特別。看一下儲藏室和冰箱，想一想把什么食物做成心形送給家人吧。

    讓家人醒來就有心形的雞蛋、薄餅或華夫做成的早點。沒有心形的雞蛋和薄餅模嗎？沒關系~只要簡單地切成心形就行。你有心形的碗嗎？現在正是把兒童谷類早餐放進碗里的時候。

    把午餐或晚餐時吃的球狀米飯和肉糜糕做成小顆的心怎樣？對于蔬菜也如此-把土豆、胡蘿卜和綠葉菜切成心形。

    您廚房里的許多食物都可以做成心形，所以放手去做吧，試一下。祝您愉快！祝大家情人節快樂！
