Baking for Valentine's Day!

Each major (or minor) holiday, my sister-in-law Sharon, myself, and all 3 kids get together and bake things and have a little family memory makin'. It started with Christmas before the kids came along, and I always look forward to it. We have this obsession with cookie cutters from the Target dollar section, so it makes holiday cookie baking that much easier. Today we got together to have a little Valentine Soiree! 

















We made heart-shaped pizzas by getting the pre-made ready-to-go pizza crust, and used the bigger heart to cut out our shapes. Then the kids sprinkled their cheese and pizza spices onto the pizzas and we baked.

The pizzas came out perfect and were delicious, they all loved them!  This is on our must-do list for next year. 
Deeeelish!


On to cookies. Obviously. The kids have experience cutting and putting the 'frinkles' on the cookies, so it's always a fun time. We did sugar cookies with the heart shapes, then added some pink icing & sprinkles!  These are always on our list, they're the best sugar cookie recipe I've ever done... thanks Martha!

All done! Frinkle success!

I have more crafts and baked tastey treats that are going to be posted tomorrow morning... I'm hoping my heart-shaped cinnamon roll breakfast treats are a success... if not, I think they'll still taste good! Go make some memories with your valentine!
