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.
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.
Strawberry parfaits are incredibly easy and fast desserts to make but can still pass as fancy in a pinch. If you need a “dessert for dummies” recipe this is the one.
Strawberry parfaits are kid-friendly, chocolate-free, and make a perfect Valentine’s Day treat for anyone. Class it up by putting the parfait in a wine glass and adding a strawberry fan to up the ante.
I love to make mini caprese skewers for holiday parties. These cute appetizers are easy, fast, and don’t take up any oven space. They are actually great for parties any time of the year but the colors (red, green, and white) are especially perfect for the Christmas season. You might even want to serve the skewers in the formation of a wreath for extra holiday cheer. Next time you are in charge of a holiday appetizer consider mini caprese skewers, you won’t regret it!
