Who doesn't love Hershey Kisses? They are such a classic chocolate treat. I have so many warm fuzzy memories of Hershey kisses (most of them involving me drowning my sorrows and eating a whole bag by myself--no shame!) I remember the first Valentine's Day I had with Hershey Kisses. It was in 5th or 6th grade and my creative friends had, unbeknownst to me, graduated from store-bought cards. They had Hershey Kisses, wrapped in pink and … [Read more...]
I have the easiest and yummiest Valentine's Day recipe for you--Red Velvet Butter Bars! I tried this recipe to make thicker Red Velvet cake which uses butter instead of oil. I took them out of the oven, let them cool, then put on the frosting. It looked very tantalizing and I couldn't wait another second to try it. So I did and it was...mediocre. I tasted the way every other Red Velvet cake I'd make tasted--unremarkable. So I put the … [Read more...]
It's February--the month of LOVE. I have a super easy and fun project for you--something that makes a great gift idea or just decor around the house. It's Sharpie Art--specifically 'Doodle' Love Art! All you need is a ceramic dish and some Sharpies. Seriously, that's it. And channel your 8 year old self and doodle like you're writing a note to your friend! (Remember writing notes and folding them in those cool ways?) Here's an … [Read more...]

If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen a tantalizing picture of Hot Fudge that I had just whipped up. Well the other day I had a hankering to make something delicious and I wanted to try making Hot Fudge. My grandma had a simple recipe that I followed. The only problem is that I used Fat Free Evaporated Milk instead of the regular kind which meant that there was no fat in the mixture. Sounds healthy right? Well no fat also … [Read more...]
I discovered this recipe several years ago and found it surprisingly delicious. I know--surprisingly? It's a fudge brownie torte! But when you see/eat the actual brownie torte by itself, it's pretty lackluster. But paired with the chocolate topping and strawberries--a match made in heaven! This is a great dessert to make for your Valentine's Day dinner at home, if that's what you're doing this year. 5.0 from 1 reviews Save … [Read more...]
The flu is slowly leaving our house and I had a second this week to make a fun Valentine's craft which was SUPER easy, fast, and adorable. It's a valentine's pom pom wreath! Isn't it so cute? It's so fluffy I wanna die! <--name that quote! Seems like most wreaths take a really long time to make--whether you're wrapping it in yarn or tying on strips of fabric or rolling a billion little paper flowers. Wreaths definitely are a labor … [Read more...]
