Made with love.

I love to cook. So for me, any event is an excuse to bake something fun. Holidays are always so fun because you can there are so many ideas out there. Naturally, Valentine’s Day and sweets just seem to go hand in hand. Check out the below ideas (click on the name to take you to the recipe)- all are fairly easy with super cute results!

Or you can always go with a classic sugar cookie topped with yummy frosting and sprinkles (in festive colors, of course!). Cute, sweet, easy, and delicious! Click on the photo below for a great recipe.

If baking isn’t your thing, give these marshmallows a try and add some love to your hot chocolate. All you need are regular/large size marshmallows and a (very tiny) heart shaped cookie cutter coated with cooking spray. Cut marshmallows in half, press the cookie cutter into the center of each one...and voila!



If food just isn’t your thing, check out ‘Delightfully Engaged’ for some other, non-foodie, ideas to show your Valentine, as they put it, “I freaking love you!” : )

Happy Valentine's Day lovebirds!
