What is something that I can make for Valentine's day that isn't TOO sweet?

My boyfriend doesn't really like sweets, but I don't have the time to make him a full lunch either. Are there any recipes for a dessert or snack, appropriate for Valentine's Day, that isn't too sweet?

Answer 3

How about banana bread (or date, or cranberry, or even blueberry) baked in a heart-shaped pan" Or bake the batter in muffin cups, and put a candy heart on top after baking--he can remove that.

Or these "Gotta love 'em" crackers:
2 bags oyster crackers, 1 cup vegetable oil, envelope ranch dressing mix, 1 Tbsp garlic powder, 2 Tbsp dill weed.

Pour crackers in a large bowl & set aside.
Whisk the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl & pour over the crackers. Stir very well, until well coated.
Everyone likes these, and you can make them several days ahead.
