Valentine’s day is not a big holiday in our house. We don’t decorate, David and I don’t make special plans. Heck, we’re lucky if we both remember to buy a card. In the greater scheme of life there are bigger, more important holidays. However, this year I have so many fun ideas for Valentine’s day I want to do them all. I thought I would share a little collection of great recipes I’ve found over the past couple of weeks:

This is one I’m actually going to do myself. It is homemade chocolate covered “heart” pretzels. It looks super easy and yummy. This idea is from Make and Takes and if you aren’t already checking out her great craft ideas you are missing out.

This is a recipe for red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting which looks like the perfect cupcake recipe if you are trying to impress. I’ve been thinking about making these for David’s office.

This is a great recipe for school because it is a bar recipe. Valentine’s day blondies with M&M’s. So sweet, cute and easy. I might make these too.

And then finally this lovely entry by Ezra Pound Cake – These heart cakes are far too much for me, but so lovely to look at.

Happy Valentine’s Day Y’all!!

My mother emailed me instantly this morning to remind me of a marshmallow Peeps recipe she had seen in a magazine. Although I’m sure this is not the one she found I did think this was a cute idea and makes you think of all the fun things you can do with Peeps. With every holiday season bringing it’s own style and colors of Peeps the possibilities are endless.
