It seems incredible how time passes. A few days ago we finished picking up the Christmas tree and we are already thinking about Valentine. In case you feel like giving your partner a good surprise and you want to do it with the help of the children, we have prepared a selection of 19 Valentine's recipes to make with the kids, so that you live a very special family day.
Since the children were born, the Valentine's party has changed us and we must not forget to make it, even if it is otherwise, remain a very special and very romantic day. Nothing better than preparing a special menu, which can start from breakfast time, with the help of children. Here you have our proposal to fall in love with the kitchen, with the participation of the children of the house.
Romantic breakfasts
A breakfast in bed is always a thing that is received with joy. Even more so, in addition to freshly made juice, they bring us coffee with delicious heart-shaped cookies and filled with strawberries and cream. What would you like to wake up with that vision?
You can also prepare with the help of children other more conventional cookies such as these homemade chocolate cookies or some chocolate brownies with nuts, which will help us start Sunday with joy.
If you think you will enjoy more with a salty breakfast, nothing more elegant than the eggs at Benédict, the breakfast they invented at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York and that our partner will surely appreciate if we take him to bed between kisses.
A menu that falls in love
As an appetizer, what better than some crispy cheese hearts with nuts and tomatoes? So when the food arrives, We can only think of hearts, and we will feel very happy. Another option to enjoy in the appetizer is to prepare some melted heart puff pastries, made with wafers of empanadillas and in whose preparation the kids can participate perfectly.
As a starter, we suggest a light salad, such as crunchy figs and stilton cheese that will surely allow us to reach the main course without feeling heavy. Other salad we can make with the kids It is the orange and strawberry salad, a combination that we would like to share to everyone at the table.
For the main dishes, remember that it is not convenient to feel full and it is preferable to choose fish or chicken recipes that allow us to reach the desserts. That is why we suggest this recipe for honey chicken with almonds and cinnamon, or a baked sea bass whose white and smooth meat, you will all like.
If you are going to prepare a recipe with a hard-boiled egg, -salad, soups, etc.- you can hit the hard heart-shaped eggs that children will love to make. You will see which face they put on when they see how they are cut.
For dessert, we are wholeheartedly
Flowers are always a good resource, for them and also for them. A beautiful bouquet of roses (made with apple) is our infallible recommendation to succeed with dessert, although you can also make a bouquet with lots of love made with strawberries strung for Valentine's Day, which surely your partner will also like very much.
If you opt for more traditional sweets, heart pies are our recommendation. This apple and almond cake is a challenge for kids who have to help us decorate it. We can also make other cold desserts like this raspberry souffle that the big and small will like.
The snack can also be an auspicious moment for Valentine
If you have not had the opportunity to prepare breakfast or if you have had a meal away from home and have not prepared the special menu for Valentine's Day, you have the option to prepare a special snack, sharing a cake, some cookies or a slice of romantic cake.
These are our proposals for the snack, in which Children can participate helping the elderly to knead, decorate or serve. We propose that in addition to the buns, you make homemade chocolates with pistachios and flowers like these, or the disc-shaped chocolates, made with a mixture of black and white chocolate in spirals that you like so much.
The most tricky They can make chocolate cupcakes with heart inside or a beautiful butter cream pie with raspberries and mascarpone that will leave everyone with their mouths open. If we don't give ourselves such a good morning, we can make cupcakes with red dye, and decorate them with hearts with the help of the kids, getting some original red velvet cupcakes.
With all these ideas, you just need to get down to work and buy - secretly - the ingredients to give a good surprise. You have two weeks to prepare the plan and most importantly, to carry it out. With any of these recipes, you will surely conquer your partner on Valentine's Day with the help of the kids.
