Chocolate Dipped Strawberries 巧克力草莓

Strawberries dipped in chocolate are not only delicious, but they are also healthy and easy to make. Start by buying ripe, plump strawberries from the grocery store. You can also use another fruits, based on your preference. Buy dark, milk or white chocolate, or a combination of all three, and melt them in a fondue part. If you don't have a fondue pot, heat the chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, or melt the chocolate in the microwave. Line a baking sheet or large platter with wax paper and set aside. When the chocolate has melted, dip the strawberries lengthwise halfway, shake off the excess chocolate and place them on the wax paper to cool.

爱心果冻是一道低卡甜点。首先根据包装纸上的说明制作果冻，然后将果冻倒入一个浅的烤盘，等到果冻变硬后，使用心形的模型切出爱心果冻。还可以在每个爱心果冻的上方放上半个纵切的草莓，这样会更有爱心的感觉。


Heart-Shaped Sandwiches 心形三明治
Your sweetie is sure to appreciate these festive, yummy sandwiches. You can use any kind of sandwich recipe you like, however grilled cheese or hot ham and cheese will most likely stay together the best. Assemble the sandwich as you normally would, use a large heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the center of the sandwich, then grill it if you are making a hot sandwich. You can serve grilled cheese sandwiches with a bowl of tomato soup to incorporate into the meal.
你的宝贝一定会喜欢这些富有节日意义又美味的三明治。可以制作任何你喜欢的三明治，不管是烤乳酪三明治还是热火腿三明治。不过烤乳酪三明治会比较不容易散开。首先，像平时一样码好三明治，然后使用一个大型的心形模具，放在三明治的中间，切出一个爱心三明治，如果想要一个热乎乎的三明治，可以上烤炉热一下。搭配一碗西红柿汤，更是呼应了情人节红色的主调。


Heart-Shaped Pancakes 心形煎饼
What better way to start off the day than with heart-shaped pancakes? You can use whole grain pancake mix to keep the meal nutritious. Make the pancake mix according to the directions on the package. You can even add a drop of red food coloring to the mix. Heat the griddle over medium heat, using a little bit of oil or butter to keep the pancakes from sticking. When the pan is hot enough, pour the batter into a heart shape. The pan must be hot enough so the batter doesn't run. It will also help if you are cooking on an even cooking surface.
美好的一天从爱心煎饼开始！想要让煎饼更健康，建议使用全麦煎饼粉。根据包装袋上的指示做好面糊，可以在煎饼粉中加入一滴红色食用色素。中火预热煎锅，锅底抹上少许食用油或黄油，防止煎饼粘锅。当煎锅足够热的时候，倒入面糊，并使之成爱心形。当锅底够热时，面糊就不会乱跑，容易成型。平的锅底也可以帮助面糊更快成型。
