Heart shaped carrots – Simple, savory Valentine’s Day idea

Chicken soup for the soul with heart shaped carrots for Valentine's Day

I don’t really do anything for Valentine’s Day usually. I made pink heart shaped pancakes for the girls one year, if I recall correctly, although that easily could’ve been just a random day where I felt like showing them I cared enough to spend some extra time on breakfast. That just goes to show how important this holiday is to me, huh? Ha.

I do end up seeing a lot related foods around every single holiday, though, and V-Day is no exception. Just how many heart-shaped cookies can there possibly be in the world? Hundreds of thousands, according to my feed reader.

So I especially liked this idea to help balance it out. Instead of focusing only on the dessert side, this one simply involves cutting some carrots and tossing them into a soup. In this case, it appears to be chicken noodle soup and I love the simplicity of it. <3

Sophistimom did a really awesome tutorial on how to easily create the hearts without doing it individually, too, so check her out.

And in case you would prefer a dessert, how about some manly cookies?
