Delicious Valentine's Day Cupcake Goodness!


Happy Valentine's Day, everybody! We hope you have a romantic, ridiculously fun heart day with your Sweetheart! In case you need some last minute inspiration, here is a fun and delicious treat to add to your menu. Choose from any of the delicious cupcake recipes in the Tidbits section of our website, or grab your favorite box mix to get started. All you need is a regular muffin/cupcake pan and 12 marbles or marble-sized tinfoil balls.
Start by lining your pan with cupcake liners. Place a marble/tinfoil ball between the liner and pan and fill 2/3 full of cupcake batter. Then, simply bake as recipe instructs and TA-DA! Heart shaped cupcakes! Deliciously adorable. Let them cool, then remove them from the pan (the marbles can stay hot for a while, so beware!) and frost.

Why 'Wear Your Heart On Your Sleeve?'





You know them when you hear them. Weird phrases that pop up around certain holidays and leave you thinking seriously where did that come from? Well today you can cross one off your list!

It was once believed that the heart was the center of all emotion. In the Middle Ages, men would pull a woman's name out of a bowl. This would be the man's Valentine. To show his devotion, the man would wear the paper containing the woman's name on his sleeve for a week. This soon became known as 'wearing your heart on your sleeve'. So maybe this February 14th write your Valentine's name on paper and pin it to your sleeve...I double dog dare you!

Looking for Love in all the Right Places!


In Honor of V-Day I thought I would propose (I got some of you excited didn't I?) a cute dinner idea for lovers! If you're anything like me, you need fast, easy meals on weeknights! I'm talkin' if it takes longer than 25 minutes or needs more than 10 ingredients, I'm out!


So grab yourself a pepperoni pizza, or make one yourself, and get ready for some fun! Turn the pepperonis into tiny hearts buy using a heart cookie cutter! Throw those on before you put it in the oven, and make sure to put the cheese on underneath so everyone can see your mad pepperoni skills. It's easy, it's fun, and best of all it tastes delicious!
