Recipes for a Yummy Valentine’s Day
Here are some delicious ideas for making Valentine’s Day taste extra special:
Chocolate and Strawberry Waffles Recipe
- Sweeten up your morning with a special brunch of chocolate waffles with fresh strawberries. Make extra waffles and freeze the leftovers to enjoy during the week. Just pop them in the toaster and you’re set. Besides strawberries, have some other goodies on hand like chocolate chips and whipped cream.
Fluffy Pancakes Recipe
- If you don’t want to get out the waffle iron, strawberries and sweet pancakes are a great option. The author calls this recipe The Best Pancakes, an homage to those yummy pancakes Grandma used to make. The ingredients are items you’re likely to have on hand, which makes the recipe simple and easy.
Heartfelt Toast Recipe
- This recipe takes toast to a whole luscious knew level. All you need is bread, eggs, salt and pepper, and red food coloring. Cut a little heart into the middle of each piece of bread for the egg. In the end, you’ll have tasty toast with a red egg heart in the middle.
Cupid Floats Recipe
- If you have kids, let them have some fun making these Valentine’s Day floats with you. Make them right before dinner and sip and savor while you eat or save them for dessert. Keeping with the red theme, add cherry soda to a glass of vanilla ice cream and make red licorice straws for the finishing touch.
Sundry Sweet Treats Recipe
- Make one or several of these treats. They’re perfect as a finishing dessert or simply a celebratory sweet. Your heart may go aflutter going through these delightful recipes. Whichever one you go with, you can’t go wrong!
