We Heart Cinnamon Rolls.

There are a ton of different ways to make pretty heart cinnamon rolls....but I chose the route that required minimal effort. Why would I waste my time making homemade ones when Pillsbury has already perfected the recipe for me?



All I did was roll out the dough and cut it with a cookie cutter.



Then I follwed the rest of the instructions on the package....and voila, Heart Cinnamon Rolls!



Not the prettiest, but they get the job done (and they taste just fine). Happy [almost] Valentine's Day!

Valentine Pretzel Buttons.

Pretzel buttons are great for just about any holiday. The best part? They could not be easier to make...unless of course the chocolate kisses came unwrapped.

What you need... 

  1. Pretzels -  I used square ones, but circle ones work great too.

  2. Hershey's Kisses - You can use any kind of kisses you'd like (I used regular Hugs and Raspberry Hugs).

  3. M&Ms - Again, you can use any flavor you want (I used regular milk chocolate and cherry, because they both went with the holiday theme).



How to make them... 




  1. Preheat oven to 200°.

  2. Place the pretzels on baking sheet and top them with the hugs.

  3. Bake for 4 minutes, or until the chocolate is shiny and starts to look melty...but is not melted. Haha get it? K, good.

  4. Place an M&M in the center of each hug and press it down to spread the chocolate.

  5. Allow to cool and enjoy!
