Of course I had to do a Valentine's themed tin today. This was dinner a few nights ago. A simple meal that was completely devoured - every last bite!
Heart shaped grilled cheese (do you see the smiley face?!?) with balsalmic roasted squash and zucchini (roasted last summer, sealed, and frozen - they preserved very well!), a heart shaped fresh tomato, dill pickles (canned last year) and a crown full of chocolate mousse, strawberries, and a squirt of whipped cream. Can you say yum?!
This is how I made the smiley face - toast stamps! I found them at Dollar Tree. A set of 2 costs just $1 and they had all different patterns to choose from. Fun, huh?

making the ordinary, extraordinary...always a wonderful thing
Dollar stores are the best for finding inexpensive items like your bread stamps. Cute!
Very fun! I really like the crown. Your kids must get so excited over your meals!
Love it!! I have never much frequented the Dollar Tree, but they've seen me a bunch more since I started reading over here!! ;)
I love it! I can't believe you found those stamps at the dollar store! I never find cool stuff there . . .
Very cool grilled cheese
I need to get to the Dollar Store. It's just one of those stores I always forget about, but I've seen some bloggers get some very good buys there. Cute toast!!
