Valentine’s Day is almost here, and we know that means many of our patients are getting ready to spend a wonderful day celebrating the love they share with their special someone. We love this holiday, as it’s a great reminder not to take the loved ones in your life for granted – but unfortunately, it’s often celebrated with hard, sticky, and sugary sweets. The caramels and lollipops we love to indulge in this time of year can wreak havoc on braces – so here are a couple of Valentine’s recipes that won’t break your braces.<\/p>\n

Egg in a Heart Shaped Basket<\/h3>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Thanks to\u00a0Reclaiming Provincial\u00a0for this one – it’s an easy breakfast that’s sure to delight your loved one. To start, butter a piece of toast on both sides, then cook it over medium heat on a pan until it’s lightly browned. Take it off the pan, then cut or tear a heart-shaped hole in the middle. Put it back on the pan, then crack an egg into the whole and cook it through. Add a bit of salt and pepper and serve with an arrow of bacon for extra points!<\/p>\n

Heart Shaped Potatoes<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

This is an awesome side for a Valentine’s Day dinner, and we thank\u00a0Haniela’s\u00a0for the recipe.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0You’ll need six large potatoes
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01\/4 cup olive oil
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01 tsp of salt, some black pepper
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a02 tsp caraway seeds
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01\/2 tsp of paprika<\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 400\u00baF, then line a baking sheet with foil and brush with olive oil. Fill a pot with a quart or two of water, add a tbsp of salt, bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer. While boiling, peel and slice your potatoes to about half an inch thick, then use a metal heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many hearts as you can. Cook the potatoes in the water for three minutes, then drain and combine them with your olive oil, caraway, salt, pepper, and paprika. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then spread your potatoes onto the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Once they’re golden brown and irresistible, serve them with your favorite entree and enjoy!<\/p>\n
