Spreading The Love And Valentine's Treats To Share With In-Home Help
February 14th is fast approaching. It’s quite convenient that February is designated by the American Heart Association as American Heart Month. This is a great month to pay attention to your heart, both literally and figuratively. If you are interested in showing you care with heart shaped treats, try something new that won’t break the scale. A fresh fruit bouquet is an option to send a loved one instead of the familiar standby flowers. Simple and healthy ideas with a twist could include adding heart-shaped cheese to your loved one’s salad and piecing together two diagonally cut cherry tomatoes to create a garden-fresh symbol of love. Sugar-free, chocolate strawberries are not only yummy, they are very healthy. Strawberries are a naturally heart-healthy Valentine’s Day treat that fits in greatly with the red theme. When you cut a strawberry in half, it also looks like a heart! Angel food with sugar-free icing is a low calorie and delicious treat to share. There are many recipes for creating homemade granola to give as a Valentine’s treat in a pretty jar, rather than candies.
If you haven’t been overwhelmed by the red, pink and hearts décor in every department store, you’ll surely get a toothache looking at the wide variety of sugary and chocolaty treats available this time of year. School children are creating their Valentine boxes to collect their treats from fellow classmates. Roses are expected to fly off the shelves to be presented as a fragrant gift for a loved one. There are so many ways to express amorous feelings through cards, candy and gifts; however, this holiday wasn’t always so commercial.
A simple of gesture of a homemade baked good or a handmade card featuring a pretty heart along with a flower was all that was required to show someone that they were loved. There are so many ways to show someone you care about them without having to fill their bellies with sugar and showering them with rose petals. This Valentine’s Day, make it a point to show your loved one you care by doing something a bit different.
If you are looking for new ways to show how much you care on Valentine’s Day, try something nonedible such as giving tickets to a movie theatre, local hockey or basketball game. If you have an elderly loved one in your life, a simple gesture of a planned afternoon out of the house to have lunch would be a fantastic way to show you care. In many ways, time spent with loved ones is more of a treasure than any material item could ever be.
