This is a great Valentine’s Day dinner to make with the kids, and you can even set up a topping bar and let everyone build their own individual pizzas.

This simple appetizer can’t be beet when it comes to a romantic dinner at home. Once you’ve roasted the beets, let them cool before slicing and using a small cookie cutter to create hearts. The combination of beets, arugula, goat cheese and honey makes for an upscale starter that pairs perfectly with a bottle of wine.

For a fresh and fruity snack, serve up this adorable dish. Watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew melon are sliced into hearts using a cookie cutter, then served with a dip made from pudding mix, whipped topping and yogurt. Top with red and pink sprinkles for an extra-festive touch.
