A Valentine's Day Treat...

Will you be  Mine?!

Valentine's Day is fast approaching...

Preparations are being made

Valentine's Parties

Birthday Party for me!! (Smiles)

Special Teas

and of course

Sweet Treats to be made!!

Do you all have a favorite sweet treat for Valentine's Day?

I was experimenting again....

Yes, I know... it's rather addicting!

I love walnuts, dried cranberries and chocolate!

Who doesn't?!

So, I whipped up a batch to combine all my favorite

 little snacks into ONE BIG Treat!

These would be a great gift for that

 special someone for Valentine's Day.

Homemade Walnut Cranberry Clusters

2 c. roughly chopped Walnuts

1 c. Dried Cranberries

1 bag Dark Chocolate Chips (or chips of your choice)

2 tsp. Coconut Oil

Mini Paper Lined Baking Cups, Optional

In a large saucepan combine the 

chocolate chips and the coconut oil.  

Stir constantly until melted.  

Stir in your chocolate chips and dried cranberries.

Remove from heat and fill your baking cups or

 you can spoon clusters onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet.

Place into fridge until they are hardened.

( I store mine in the fridge or freezer)

And here you have a slightly healthy sweet treat!

Try not to eat them all in one setting!

Who doesn't like a little 

chocolate every now and again?!

This is by far Better than anything

 purchased at the store!

Wishing you All a Very Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hugs,

Gimme Some Sugar...

Happy Weekend to you!

I thought I'd best get on here and do a 

little Valentine inspired post!

After all, it is the LOVE month!

And my birthday!

💗

(Smiles inserted here)

Do you gals go all out for Valentine's Day or do

you just keep it simple and real?

We keep it simple,

with having boys they aren't into anything foo-foo or pink.

Now, if we did a camo theme, they'd be ALL in.

But, that ain't happening!!

The most requested thing my boys ask for

are my frosted sugar cookies.

So, I'll more than likely bake some 

heart shaped cookies for the occasion!

When I was a kid, I hated that my 

Birthday was on Valentine's Day.

No one ever celebrated my birthday, just Valentine's Day.

I felt ripped off... forgotten...

How Rude!!

Now, that I'm older, I get extra blessed.

I just celebrate all month long....

(And my oldest son's birthday is two days after mine)

So see...Party Month!! 

Okay enough about me....

HA!

I thought I'd share a few of my posts on some easy DIY gifts 

to share on this special day or really any special day 

for that matter.

These walnut cranberry clusters are so yummy!

I make these often as they aren't overly sweet.
