Forget the flowers—let's bake. ❤️


Hi Reader!

Valentine's Day treats fall into three categories:

Breakfast: because who doesn't want to wake up to something delicious?!

Sweet Treats: Think cookies and truffles... Snacks, basically.

Dessert: Like, proper dessert. The thing you're going to dive into after a really delicious meal.

This year, these are my top contenders...

Breakfast: Raspberry Scones, Strawberry Scones, Raspberry Cinnamon Rolls, Danishes (I would use this lemon curd recipe in place of the sweet plum filling) & Mega Lemon Greek Yogurt Pancakes.

Sweet Treats: Brown Sugar Truffles (a fav!), Vanilla Madeleines (dip into this strawberry glaze), Chewy Brownies Cookies, Heart Cut-Out Sugar Cookies & Peanut Butter Blossoms made with heart-shaped chocolates.

Dessert: Chocolate Brownie Meringue Cake, Chocolate Pavlova with heaps of berries, Mixed Berry Crumble (use frozen fruit!) or the most perfect Rich Chocolate Sheet Cake that you'll swoon over!

Scroll down for photos! Wishing you a fabulous week! 💗

Hi Reader! Here they are! My mom loves the lemon ricotta pancakes from Scarlett Begonia's, so I had it on the January agenda to make my own version of them. BUT, before I even got started I was completely pressed by having to go out and get ricotta. It's just not an ingredient I use much. Greek yogurt, on the other hand, is always in my fridge!
