Valentines Day Lunch Ideas
I love doing themed food on holidays for my kids and hubby. It makes the day a little more personal and adds a fun touch, letting them know that I care. I picked up a pie press from Target for only $5 and made calzones for lunch. You can also buy a Wilton Heart Shaped Pocket Pie Mold
if you can’t find one at Target. My 5 year old was enthralled with the fact that it was a heart and had a fun time helping me make them. It’s easy enough prep that you can get the kids involved. Once we had them ready, they only had to bake for 10 minutes!

Heart shaped calzones for Valentine's Day
Ingredients
- 1 premade pizza crust
- ¼ cup tomato sauce
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- pepperoni or other toppings
Instructions
- Roll out pizza crust. If you buy a pre-made crust, all you have to do is unroll it
- Use a pie press to cut the heart shape from the dough. If you don't have a pie press, you can use a knife to cut 2 heart shapes that are about the same size.
- Put toppings into one size of the pie press or one size of the heart and then press the two sides together.
- Bake at 400 for 10-12 minutes or until crust is golden.
- Share with your favorite Valentine!
Do you make holiday inspired food for friends and family?
These are so cute. My sons would love them!
These Valentine Calzones look tasty and festive. And for only $5 for lunch, that’s great.
