These raspberry lemonade tartlets are perfect for Mother’s Day or any other spring brunch. The beautiful pink color is reminiscent of flowers and the shade of pink can be adjusted by changing the ratio of raspberry juice and lemon juice.

This red berry smoothie is naturally bright and the perfect color for Valentine’s Day. In addition to being a healthy option for breakfast, lunch or a snack, it could also pass for a dessert.

The combo of homemade salted caramel sauce, chocolate ganache and chopped Oregon hazelnuts has become an immediate favorite for friends and family.

Chocolate and hearts, a quintessential Valentine’s Day treat. With the big day quickly approaching I wanted to make a special breakfast. Chocolate waffles topped with homemade whipped cream and strawberry hearts did the trick.

It’s a hot cocoa {with marshmallows} kind of snow day. If my boys could have their way, every day would be a hot chocolate kind of day. But today was special because we took part in the age-old ritual of playing in the snow until we couldn’t feel our toes and then warming up by wrapping our hands around a mug of steaming hot chocolate.

Especially when cut into hearts, these chocolate coconut almond date energy bars make a nice little gift for your Valentine. And because I feel like we have been living in a sweets-saturated world since Halloween they are a welcome healthy Valentine’s Day treat.

When I saw this “owl egg shaper” on Pinterest I couldn’t resist making a version of my own. My oldest son got a hoot out of his breakfast and I loved playing with food to create an easy, edible art snack that doesn’t involve sugary sweets.

As popular as red velvet cake (and red velvet everything) has become, I don’t remember ever having red velvet cake as a kid. I do, however, have a vivid childhood memory of gasping with girlish delight as they cut into the armadillo cake in the movie Steel Magnolias. I guess ever since then I’ve had red velvet cake on my mental baking list.

This combo of natural food dyes isn’t just about avoiding artificial dyes and coming up with beautiful {natural} colors. It’s also because I simply love the combination of almond and berries.

Simply layer white (plain or vanilla) yogurt, red berries & fruit, a spoonful of raspberry freezer jam if you want to sweeten your plain Greek yogurt just a bit, and heart-shaped oatmeal pancakes to make a heart healthy breakfast, snack or dessert. And it doubles as an activity: my boys love every opportunity to create with cookie cutters!
