Two of My Sweethearts Ready For a Special Meal! |
Valentine's Day has always been a special day for me, and I've always looked forward to it. It started when I was a little girl and my dad would make Valentine's Day scavenger hunts for my brother and I. When we woke up on Valentine's Day, there would be a rhyming message from my dad written on a small piece of paper. The rhyme might go something like this:
"Roses are red, violets are pink, you'll find the next clue, under the s--k!"
In the above note, the next clue could be found under the "sink", and my brother and I would retrieve the next clue there. Along with the next clue, our dad would leave a Valentine's Day chocolate--or sometimes an old, red Canadian $2 bill (remember those)! The last clue would always lead to a stockpile of Valentine's Day chocolates, multiple $2 bills, and a nice Valentine's Day card hand-written by my mom and dad with warm wishes, and lots of "X"es and "O"es.

How Do You Say "I Love You"? |
Thinking back to our family's wonderful Valentine's Day tradition always makes me smile, and I so much appreciated the effort my dad put into making the day special. As a parent, I have since continued this Valentine's Day scavenger hunt tradition with my own five children. It's one way that my husband and I celebrate our love for the kids, and let them know how special they are to us.

Look For Olivieri Heart-Shaped Ravioli In Stores Around Valentine's Day |
![]() |
Shopping for Our Valentine's Day Meal |
My family not only loved the look of Olivieri Heart Ravioli, but it also smelled and tasted great! In our household, we love cheese and the ravioli has 5 cheeses overstuffed into the egg pasta shells: ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, swiss and provolone! You can really make the cheese ravioli your own by adding an Olivieri sauce, spices, your favourite veggies or grated cheese to the dish. Just serve and have a great Valentine's Day meal!
