The idea of sharing a meal out with that special someone has long been a favorite way to spend this love-filled holiday. That doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t start some new traditions, especially when you have kids. As a partner of the Together Counts\u2122 program for healthy, active living, we recommend getting creative and celebrating a healthy Valentine\u2019s Day with food, fun and those special people in your life. Ideas like these can help you get started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Eat Out Without the Crowd<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 It\u2019s true that Valentine\u2019s Day is a popular occasion to eat out, and that can mean crowds and long waits. To avoid the crowds, take the family out a day or two before, try a late breakfast or mid-afternoon meal or opt for more casual restaurants that may not be the first pick for more romantic meals. Search for restaurants near you that serve\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.healthydiningfinder.com\/\">Healthy Dining and Kids LiveWell<\/a><\/span>\u00a0menu choices you can enjoy with ease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li><strong>Take It Outside<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Get some healthy snacks together and head out to enjoy Valentine\u2019s Day with your loved ones. If the weather is nice, try a hike or visit to your local park to play. If the weather isn\u2019t so nice in your neck of the woods, opt for an indoor activity like skating, bowling, rock climbing or a trampoline park.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li><strong>Make It An (Easy) Event<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Chances are if you have kids, you know other couples with kids. Get the families together for a Valentine\u2019s Day-themed potluck (ordering in from a local restaurant is an even easier option!). Everyone gets the chance to relax in good company with a good meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Make it Family Affair<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 For a smaller celebration, especially when the weather is less-than-friendly, make a meal together as a family for Valentine\u2019s Day. Decide on the meal together or invite everyone to pick a recipe (appetizer, entr\u00e9e, side, etc.). Don\u2019t let Valentine\u2019s Day get lost in the shuffle of paper hearts, greeting cards and crowds. Share the time and good, good food with people you love to make the most of it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What traditions have you and your family started for Valentine\u2019s Day? What\u2019s your favorite food to enjoy for this love-filled holiday?<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthydiningfinder.com\/\">Healthy Dining Finder<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>was born out of a passion to find menu choices with vibrant fruits and vegetables, hearty whole grains and flavorful lean proteins at every restaurant.
