I’m the first to admit I’m not remotely crafty. I’m also pretty lazy. I have however great ideas and desires, just not the skills. Sound impressive so far? Well, I’m pretty damn proud of what a nice Valentine’s day I made for my kids. It was “crafty” but it was also easy.
Step 1: Order Presents on amazon and get candy at Target.
Step 2: Order Valentine’s Day cards on Shutterfly. (I also prewrite the messages so all I have to do is put it in an envelope when they arrive)
Step 3: Breakfast inspired by pinterest
- I made chocolate stuffed raspberries (just insert chocolate chip into raspberry)
- Toast cut into heart shape (with a knife as I’m not crafty enough to have a cookie cutter)
- Somewhat complicated heart shaped eggs. It looked easy enough on pinterest but when I googled the video it was much more involved than intended. But I figured if GroverGrove could do it so could I. I, like Grover, didn’t remotely use the intended materials. I used pieces of recycling, hair ties, and pencils. Plus I really like that GroverGrove ended it with “That’s how you do it mutha fuckas” so I needed to make him proud.
Step 4: Make cupcakes (from a box. Preferably the Valentine’s Day kind)
Step 5: Lunch: Heart Shaped Pizza from Papa Murphys
Step 6: Dinner: Heart shaped meatballs and spaghetti. These were the best meatballs I’ve ever made. They were so delicious and EASY.
Heart Meatballs
1 egg beaten
½ Cup Spaghetti sauce
¼ Cup bread crumbs, seasoned
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 ½ lbs. Ground beef
1½ Cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Combine all ingredients together in a large bowl. With your hands shape meat into a heart. These will be much bigger than average size meatballs. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until done in the middle.

Okay “not crafty” and “lazy” would be the LAST way I’d describe you! That breakfast looks amazing, as do the meathearts, I mean, meatballs! You rock!
You were so not lazy! The only thing I did for Valentine’s Day was sign my sons cards.
Haha. That is true, but compared to some people I did kind of the easy version of it =)
