Caprese Heart SkewersWant to be extra this Valentine’s Day without all the fuss? Pack your kids some caprese heart skewers and watch as they 𝑜𝑜𝑜 and 𝒶𝒽𝒽𝒽 over those cute little heart shaped tomatoes. Liv hates tomatoes but these little hearts win her over every single Valentine’s Day. Just don’t ask her to eat a tomato on the 15th because she’ll flat out refuse. ❤️ Great for lunchboxes, holiday appetizers, or even an afternoon snack, these mozzarella, basil, and tomato skewers are easy to make and kid-friendly! If your kids aren’t into the flavors of basil, you can always substitute with spinach for a milder flavor.

Pretzel HeartsGot 3 minutes? Then make these Chocolate Pretzel Hearts for Valentine’s Day 🫶🏼 Name a better combo than sweet+salty 🤤 We made these last weekend when it was too cold to go outside and Liv + Sawyer were driving me 🙃. Such a fun snack to make… takes minutes, easy cleanup, and happy bellies.

Heart-Shaped Cupcakes HackMoney saving Valentine’s Day hack 👇🏼 🫶🏼 Share this page with a fellow mama who could use an easy baking short-cut! ❤️ Instead of buying a heart-shaped mold that you’ll use once a year, try our tin-foil trick instead! We used a clean ingredient cake box mix to save time, poured the batter into our regular silicone molds (paper works too) and then used crumbled tin foil bits to shape our cupcakes into hearts!

Strawberry PopsCan you guess what 2 secret ingredients are hidden under that heart? 👇🏼 📱 Before anything, bookmark this page so you have it for Valentine’s Day!! 💕 Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about chocolate especially on Valentine’s Day. But what if we could increase the nutritional value of those chocolates without sacrificing flavor? 🍓 These strawberry pops are chocolate dipped yet have vitamin C from the strawberries and protein + healthy fat from the peanut butter hidden inside.

Stuffed Apple HeartsAhh Valentine’s Day. Who’s pumped for those candy sugar highs and meltdown lows coming your way? Didn’t think so. Let’s toss those sugary artificially dyed candy hearts to the curb and make some stuffed apple hearts instead! These treats are made with nutritious apples, protein-rich peanut butter, a dip of chocolate , and dye free sprinkles.

Strawberry Rose PopsReady for an easy Valentine's Day snack using strawberries and raisins? Kid-friendly and nutritious, this is a holiday-themed snack without any added sugars! Valentine’s Day is all about sweets + flowers, so I figured I’d combine the two into a healthy & fun snack that turns strawberries into roses, kids cups into flowerpots, raisins into soil, and reusable cake pop sticks into flower stems!

If you’re following along, you like simple treats made with cleaner ingredients that you can actually pronounce. 🍓 These chocolate strawberries are incredibly easy to make and are the perfect feel-good Valentine’s Day treat. A little chocolate, a little fruit… it’s a win win.

Salted Caramel Pretzel CookiesMy 14 year old twin nieces schooled me on today’s slang, and apparently there’s plenty of words to learn to keep me from becoming “cheugy” I told them no matter what, X’s and O’s are here to stay, so I’m unapologetically posting these salted caramel pretzel cookies. they’re fire. no cap. (Hope I used that correctly 😉)

Copycat Reese’s HeartsDo you know the perfect ratio of peanut butter to chocolate? 👇🏼 ♥️ There’s a reason why Reese's hearts and eggs are WAY better than the classic cups (not debatable) and it’s all in the peanut butter to chocolate ratio. ❤️ We nailed the ratio while cleaning up the classic with our copycat Reese's hearts (and even added some hemp hearts for extra protein + fiber).

Dirt Cups🌳 These dirt cups are the cutest way to celebrate Tu B’Shevat, the birthday of the trees (or save it down for Earth Day! Or even Valentine’s Day… they’re flowers people!) 🍇 My kids loved trying some of the seven species like dates + figs. While they weren’t a fan of those dried fruits on their own, paring them with chocolate pudding was a definite YES for both of them.
