Red Velvet Waffles

February 14, 2022

A previous version of this post for red velvet waffles was published in November 2012. We overhauled the post with new photos, formatting, and text. If you don’t eat something red velvet on Valentine’s Day, is it even Valentine’s Day? We love our red velvet desserts (truffles, whoopie pies, icebox cake), and the perfect thing to wake up to on February 14th, besides cinnamon rolls, is red velvet waffles. This…

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

February 1, 2022

A previous version of this post was published in February 2013, in which we attempted to make two different red velvet whoopie pies. One was not good and the other was delicious. We wanted to share our experience making both, bad and good. Since the photos (circa 2013) were equally atrocious, we removed our old posts, updated the photos on recipe we liked the most, and consolidated it all right…

A Valentine Craft for Babies and Infants

February 6, 2019

We are so excited for our son’s first Valentine’s Day! Like any first holiday, we are more excited to get him involved in whatever cute DIY Valentine craft we are creating. So, we decided to make these adorable stamped feet cards and sent them to our family. Do you remember those Valentine’s Day cards you would buy in grade school? They were themed for whatever cartoon character you loved. They…

Fudgy Brownie Heart Cupcakes for Two

February 8, 2017

When your sweet tooth acts up, sometimes you just want to make a few cupcakes instead of a whole box. Or when you’re in a pickle because you forgot a birthday, anniversary, or Valentine’s Day, you could whip up a quick batch of cupcakes for two. These fudgy brownie heart cupcakes are delicious and are a perfect dessert for V-day. Roaming around Pinterest last week, I stumbled upon The Baker Chick’s blog…

Valentine’s Day DIY Card Craft for Kids

February 6, 2017

My mom kept everything we made for her. It could have been the ugliest school craft, but she kept it. She didn’t have to, but she cherished our handmade crafts. Now, I see how special a handmade craft from your kids can be. My niece is a new big sister and she’s helping out around the house, well as much as a two-year-old can. As we let her mom and dad…

His and Hers Valentine’s Day Gift Guide: UncommonGoods

February 3, 2015

This post brought to you by UncommonGoods. How is it February already?! Bye January! Now that we’re stuffed from the Super Bowl, we can start thinking about Valentine’s Day. As a kid, Valentine’s day felt like a mini Christmas. My family would get together for a nice dinner, exchanged gifts, and reminisced on fun, family adventures. Since Fatima and I started dating, we never celebrated Valentine’s Day because our anniversary…

Cheesecake Bites

February 13, 2013

We love cheesecake. Why not take this delicious dessert and make it bite-size? Very easy to make. Be sure to give yourself some time to bake and then let sit in the fridge. We sort of modified our other recipe to make these. You’ll need a mini muffin tin if you want to make these itty bitty… BTW – this recipe is great for a normal sized cheesecake, too! Just use…
