Has everyone been glued to the Olympics these past few days? I think they're the only thing getting me through this terrible Winter. We still have at least 6 weeks of probable snow left and I can't remember ever feeling so stir-crazy for so long. I feel especially bad for my kids being cooped up. I mean in winter at least I can still do my favorite activities. (Baking, reading, and bubble baths.) But bike riding, tree...

Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies
My six year old is upset this week about a certain shape. A heart to be exact.
According to him, it looks nothing like an actual "heart", which has ventricles, arteries, and connective tissue.
Personally, I'm fine with a symbol of love that doesn't include graphic diagrams of my insides, but apparently I'm the crazy one.
It's hard having a kid that's so literal. What am I supposed to get him now for Valentine's day?...

Red Hot Krispy Treats
I'm not usually a big fan of Red Hots. I'm kind of a wuss in that way. But I do love them in other treats. If you've never tried putting them in ice cream for example, I totally recommend it. When they're combined with other ingredients they mellow out and transform into something perfectly sweet and cinnamony. Plus something about Valentine's day always makes me want to play with Red Hots.
That's normal right? ...

Raspberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
I love February because pink is everywhere. After 4 months of winter it's just a nice little reminder that the world is not all drab and gray. This raspberry cheesecake ice cream is probably totally inappropriate for a day with a 20 degree high, but it's so pretty I don't even care. I'm pretty proud of this one. For a super cheesecakey flavor, I added cream cheese and cheesecake pudding to my normal ice cream...

Dark Chocolate Donuts
Does anybody even care that it's Groundhog's day? Why are we not all celebrating by eating hot dogs? Did everyone realize without me that ground hog is actually disgusting?
Or am I supposed to be watching the Superbowl? I might be from Colorado but the second grade bully used to wear Bronco's jerseys basically every day so they've been my nemesis for awhile now. I just can't support that kind of thing. Plus...

Cordial Cherries
Happy February! This might be the first year ever I am ahead of the game and ready to post holiday treats before said holiday actually occurs.
Ok, actually these are from Christmas, but whatever.
Pretend I'm cool.
These cherries are so pretty but they're kind of a pain in the butt to make. Just being honest there.
They do make a great Valentine's day present if you have a significant other who loves cordial cherries....
