Whoever said the way to a man’s heart if through his stomach was right. Living in a house full of men I can attest to that. No one’s happier around our house when food is on the table than our boys.

It seem’s like life is so busy and just keeps getting busier. I’m sure many of you like us are always running from one activity to another. From sun up to sun down we have a million things to do and so little time. So when I can I try to add extra little touches to family meal time to make our meals fun and change it up a little.

On Valentines Day I tried to make a quick Valentines breakfast for my boys. I feel like it’s just one more way to squeeze an extra “I love you” into the day. Really it wasn’t anything spectacular but the boys loved it and felt loved because I included a little extra special touch to top it off.

Cinnamon rolls from a can with fruit and milk on any other day would be a pretty ordinary breakfast. Since it was Valentines Day I made heart shaped cinnamon rolls. It was quick and easy, didn’t really require much extra preparation and was fun. Here is what I did.

Quick and Easy Heart Shaped Cinnamon Rolls

1. Pop open the can of prepared rolls.
2. Unroll the prepared cinnamon rolls one at a time.
3. Roll toward the middle from each end until they almost meet in the middle.
4. Shape to form a heart.
5. Bake following the directions.
6. Frost the cinnamon rolls.

This simple expression of love was worth the smiles it brought that morning at the breakfast table. I though since February is the month of love this would be fun to try this weekend as part of our family breakfast. Just another thought, it might be fun to serve at a bridal shower too.
