Valentine's Treats

Heart-shaped pizza


I got heart shaped cake pans for Christmas this year so of course I'm going to use them for Valentine's Day. But instead of baking a cake I thought it would be cute to make a pizza.

Homemade pizza is super easy to make, especially if you buy pre-made dough or dough mix. I usually get the dough mix that you just add warm water to.

You can use a variety of cheeses and toppings. I used mozzarella cheese with red bell peppers. I always use fresh garlic -that is a must.




Dirt Cake


For dessert I wanted to have something I haven't made in a long time...Dirt Cake!

What you'll need:
1 pkg Oreos
8 oz. pkg cream cheese
1/2 stick of soft butter
2 cups milk
2 (3 oz) pkgs instant vanilla pudding
1 tub of whipped cream
1 cup powdered sugar
Gummy worms

Crush the oreos, a food processor works great but don't do it for too long or else the crumbs will be too fine.
Combine the cream cheese, butter and sugar. In a different bowl mix the milk and pudding until it slightly thickens. Then add the whipped cream. Mix the cream cheese mixture and the pudding mixture together.

Layer the cream and crushed cookies and top with gummy worms.




His and Hers

Since I turned 21 this Valentine's Day I thought I'd share some tasty drinks. A fruity one for her and one that's a bit stronger for him.


Mai Tai
2 oz rum
1 oz orange juice
2 oz pineapple juice
1 oz cherry mix
ice cubes

Manhattan
