14 Days of Love- Treats

I had to start with the photo for this post because seriously, how cute is this? I saw the idea on Pinterest and knew it would be a part of the Days of Love. Follow the recipe on the Rice Krispies box and sprinkle with pink sugar while the treats are still a little warm. Once cooled, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to make these adorable treats. If you spray the cookie cutter with a little cooking spray it keeps the hearts from sticking to the cutter.  I must admit I ate all the scraps and a couple hearts while I was making them. They are just too yummy.

I wrapped them up for my family and some friends at work because I really didn't need too many extras in the house. I have already eaten my weight in cereal and marshmallows. It's worth it though.

When was the last time you made Rice Krispie treats?

14 Days of Love- Breakfast in Bed

I'm a huge fan of Valentine's Day. It's my favorite holiday, second only to Christmas. For me it's not so much about the romance but about the reminder to show your spouse you love him/her. Marriage takes effort and being willing to care for your partner even when you don't feel like it. I love the little things- bringing a hot cup of coffee when he's still in bed or starting the shower so it's nice and hot, putting a little love note in his lunch or picking up something at the store I know he's been wanting. So, Valentine's Day is right up my alley. Big red hearts, mushy cards and candlelit dinners....bring it on. For this reason, I started the 14 Days of Love. Every year starting on Feb 1st, I surprise my husband with something everyday. Saturday morning, was breakfast in bed. He loves a traditional eggs, bacon, grits, toast and coffee breakfast so to make it special I used heart shaped molds to make eggs.

During this time of year you can find these molds everywhere. I got them at Costplus. Make sure you spray them well with cooking spray so the egg doesn't stick to the sides.

How cute is this egg? So why not surprise your honey with breakfast in bed one morning. I guarantee the smile of pleasure or shock LOL will be worth it.

Do you love or hate Valentine's Day?

If you love it, how do you make it special?
