What is it about desserts that we feel compelled to serve them at holidays or special occasions? Maybe it’s that they’re always delicious & always look festive (even if the baker isn’t experienced!), and the most simplest of treats can bring smiles to the faces of those we love and appreciate! I guess these are the reasons that we love them so much–from cookies to cakes and everything in between–desserts are just simply fun to dish out! So get moving in the kitchen, or head to the bakery and hand out some treats to your special valentines…
Conversation hearts are undoubtedly one of the most recognized valentine candies out there!

Inspired by these colorful candies, an after school snack looks a little brighter and tastes a little sweeter! Kids can nibble and you’ve got their attention (at least for a moment) to share some treats and sweet conversation!

The big game is Sunday and everyone’s preparing to gather ’round the TV and root for their favorite team! This game is so fun to watch…even if your team isn’t playing or if you’ve never been a football fan–the excitement of this competition spills over into almost every household, sports bar or party hall all across the nation! Our family tradition is to watch the game eating spicy chicken wings…probably the only time I eat them all year! But while we wait for the wings to crisp we can curb our nervous munching with a mini snack bar all suited up for the big game! See how simple sweets can make a winning play!
Winter is a wonderful time to spend quality moments with family! Long, cozy evenings are perfect for lingering at the dinner table…but as kids grow & get involved in endless activities those occurrences seem far and few–so when you get the chance to have a family meal you’d better grab it! Such an opportunity came my way and it made me think a moment–when entertaining we all tend to add special touches to our meals to show appreciation for our guests…why not do these things once in a while just for us? A good friend of mine would regularly use her table linens for evening meals…and while I was always in awe, I also thought she was a bit crazy for putting all that extra work into her schedule! But now I’ve come to realize that, in her own way, she was so wonderfully creating a special atmosphere for her family to gather together and share a meal! I know getting out all the linens and china isn’t for everyone…but once every so often adding your own special touches can make an ordinary family meal feel extra special! So have a peek at some easy ways to highlight a dinner that simply celebrates togetherness!
