V-Day Baking

I promised I would post my Valentine's Day desserts. I made peanut butter oatmeal cookies from a magazine recipe that I think I cut out when I was a teenager. Still works. Still tastes good! I made hearts with ganache on some and the girls helped put Hershey's kisses on others.

My Valentine's gift to the girls was a giant heart-shaped chocolate chip cookie for each, inscribed with their names. We've enjoyed eating away at the cookies. Yum, yum, yum.

Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is here and this year the girls & I made lots of fun cards. A couple of Sundays ago, I had a V-Day making lunch with a friend, my mom and the kids. We made some great cards, and a big mess too. I left that mess on the dining room table for about a week so we could continue working on our projects. Frankie slowly made about 20 cards for her classmates, Olivia made some for her pals. I made cards for friends and family, and even my dad came and made a card or two! I even took some time to make a few to sell at the cafe. I have a few sweets that I'll post in the future. I hope your Valentine's Day is full of fun!
