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.
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!
My family loves monkey bread. This time we mixed grated apple into the cinnamon-sugar syrup and baked it in a heart pan for a festive and comforting Valentine's Day treat. With or without apple, this sweet gooey cinnamon pull-apart bread is sure to make your Valentine happy.
Valentine's Day wouldn't be complete without chocolate and heart-shaped goodies. So I made my quick and easy One-Bowl Brownies in the shape of hearts, served à la mode with a red raspberry coulis.
These red and white muffins are perfect for Valentine's Day and a great alternative to all of the chocolate and ultra-sweet treats for which Valentine's Day is known.
For Valentine's Day give your someone special heart sugar cookies that are made and decorated with love {and yummy buttercream frosting!}. Your kids can also have fun decorating them for Valentine's treats.
