Valentine's Day Menu

This is our Valentine's Day tradition. We eat heart-shaped meatloaves and pink mashed potatoes. If anyone has an idea for a great Valentine-themed vegetable to go with it, please share! Here's the meatloaf recipe:

1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar
1/2 cup quick oats
1/2 cup chopped onion (optional)
1 tsp. salt
1 lb. ground beef

Mix all ingredients, shape into 8 loaves (hearts for Valentine's Day, otherwise I just make balls) and place in a greased 9x13 pan.

2/3 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. mustard

Mix sauce ingredients and spoon over loaves.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes

We eat by candlelight and take turns saying what we love about everyone. It's fun.
