Last Friday I shared some Valentine crafts that we could make, and today we'll check out some special recipes to bake.  :)

Raspberry Heart Tarts

Grandma Rainey's Bon Bons

Red Velvet Mini Cupcakes with Chocolate Sauce

Chocolate Truffles

These wonderful treats all sound delicious to me!

And here are a couple of bonus ideas that have nothing to do with cooking:

The first is great for conversations between kids of all ages:  Heart Animal Facts. Example:  The heart of a blue whale is as big as a _____ .  (Answer: car — amazing!)

Coloring Page (Teddy with big heart—yep, I've printed this for Pops' and my grands.)

Of course, the real message of Valentine's Day is love. Now's a good time to remind ourselves and our grands of God's perfect love.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever."

                                  —Psalm 118:1

 

Happy Valentine's Day,
Mary
