Easy Tiramisu

Can you believe I have never made tiramisu before? I love tiramisu but the thought of making it intimated me. Now that I’ve finally made my first batch I have no idea why I felt this way. Tiramisu is not only delicious but it’s incredibly easy to make! Here is my easy tiramisu recipe. It’s the perfect no-bake, make-ahead dessert. I will be making this frequently now.

Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Manicotti

I make this recipe a lot. First of all, everyone in my family will eat it (a huge win when dealing with a picky toddler!). Second of all, I can prepare the entire dish during nap time to heat up later. Lastly, spinach and ricotta stuffed manicotti shells are delicious!

Mini Cherry Chocolate Chip Bread

Truth – I used to eat maraschino cherries straight from the jar as an after-school snack. I’m sure my mother didn’t know. Truth – On occasion, I STILL eat maraschino cherries straight from the jar. I can’t help it! I love them. These loaves of mini cherry chocolate chip bread are perfect to give as Valentine’s gifts or to keep and eat for yourself. I find that by making mini bread loaves I am better able to portion-control instead of devouring it all immediately.

Shrimp Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups

I am not a huge fan of lasagna, I think we ate it so often in college that I now have a mental block against it. Unfortunately, my husband loves it. To compromise, I’ve created a lasagna recipe using two of my favorite things, alfredo sauce and shrimp. I hope you enjoy these shrimp alfredo lasagna roll ups as much as my family does!

Are you looking for the perfect kid-friendly Valentine’s Day dessert? This heart-shaped fruit pizza is tasty, easy to make, and has at least some healthy ingredients. This heart fruit pizza has a sugar cookie crust, cream cheese “sauce”, and fruit as toppings. Fruit pizza can be enjoyed at any time of year but when you cut it into a heart shape and color the frosting pink it makes a great Valentine’s Day treat.
