Kid Friendly Valentines Day Menu
Today’s Valentine’s Day Fun Week post is a kid-friendly Valentines Day menu! This year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday – and if you are like most parents, you will be celebrating at home with your kids, and not at a romantic dinner for two. Those days are long gone for Don and I. So, why not make it a special dinner for the entire family? Growing up, Valentine’s Day dinner at my house was a family event. We would have everything red. Even down to the paper plates Nana would buy for us to eat from.
Why not start the same tradition with your family? You can pick up some inexpensive red plates and napkins at the store and serve our special kid-friendly Valentine’s Day menu below! I have even included the recipes – and they are all SUPER easy and delicious! Make the ordinary, extraordinary by serving dinner by candlelight, pretending you are at a fancy French restaurant, and have some fun! Your kids will remember it for years!

Yum spaghetti and cheese one of my all time favorites. I’ve been making this dish for years and having out never gets old for me. I say we trick the kids into sitting at the table with us with a candle, think they would go for it?
