We’re having a little Valentine’s Day party with some friends today, and I made these marshmallow pops to take along.
When I made homemade marshmallows the first time during Christmas, I was so surprised by how easy it was, and turning them into lollypops was even more fun!
Instead of using expensive sugar crystals made with artificial food coloring, I colored my own sugar crystals using Chocolate Craft Natural Liquid Color. I’m not really a fan of artificial strawberry flavoring either, but I gotta admit these are kind of yummy. Of course, you could stick with real vanilla extract instead if you don’t want that flavor!

French toast has always been one of my favorite breakfasts!
My Dad would make it often, and it was probably one of the first things I learned to cook myself. Then, when I was pregnant with our oldest (and going through Bradley Method classes), I started making it with just eggs, bread and cinnamon (no milk!) for a protein-rich breakfast, and that recipe has stuck through the years.
It’s easy to dress this one up for the holidays with a cookie cutter and some strawberry syrup. I like to cut the edges into pieces and set the hearts on top for a cute and tasty morning treat!
