Let us take a stroll down memory lane shall we? When I would make so many sweet treats and post them so frequently on this space.  After the hubs and I gained more than love handles to grope it was time to put down my whisk and pick up the kale.  While I do still dip into the naughty side of my kitchen, I do my best to do so once a week.   Swapping baking sweets every day for some sweet love making every day.

Ya feel me?

If you are looking for SIMPLE sweet recipes to whip up for your hunny bunny, look no further.  Here are my favorite  treats to tantalize your lover with on Valentines Day.

Lets start things off with my chocolate chip cookie recipe.

This sweet pastry dough is so delicious! Not only was it a cinch to put together, the fact that the fillings and shapes are endless makes me smile.  Before hand held pies were cool, this dough was ahead of the game.

Strawberry crumb bars are not only lip licking good (anyone else think immediately of that commercial – you lint licker?! ha) they are rich and tart all at the same time.  The vibrant strawberries say it all.

This tried and true (meaning I have honestly made this very recipe over 75 times in 3 years) brownie recipe is raved about when I make it for others.  I adjusted the time in the original post for over the years I have learned to bake them for less time.  Dense, rich, chewy squares of heaven.  I dare you to not take a fork to the pan at midnight.

This is fun! How about I totally forgot about these roasted strawberry whole wheat muffins and now I wish I had a rack of them cooling.  Well, I wish I had a rack in general. But, a BAKING rack with a dozen of these gorgeous girls cooling to start my morning off right.

You see here? You have options for desert, mid day snack and breakfast on the day of love.

You’re welcome.
