Valentine's Day

I'm finally writing my very first blog.  I have to admit I was a huge slacker and I'm nervous, but let's see how it goes.  Valentine's Day...one of my favorite holidays.  Mainly because I love hearts.  Most of my jewelry is in the shape of a heart, including the stone on my engagement ring.  This year I decided to make my husband a meat pie.  He's from London...big thing at the Futbol games.  I just happened to be at Williams Sonoma and they just happened to have a heart shaped mold.  Of course I bought it and went home to try it out.

That's how they looked.  It took me a few tries but I finally got it.  They tasted pretty good too.  Ground turkey, potatoes, and carrots, with a little bit of brown gravy.

Next was dessert.

Cherry Pie <3  I cheated a bit, I made the crust but the filling was store bought.  I then decided to make homemade candies for my boys.  I made coconut filled, peanut butter filled, ganache filled, and a few spice.  I had to decorate a tin to send to my son in Vegas. 

Last thing were the sweets that I made with my little ones and Miss Breann.  The pretty ones belong to Miss Breann : )

I gained 3 lbs this Valentines : )  I'm not allowed to make anymore sweets this month : (  lol!
