Valentine Menu

this year for valentines day 

we made stuffed pork chops and a delicious chocolate raspberry cake.

in the stuffed pork chops were these funny looking things

oyster mushrooms,

weird looking,

strange texture,

great flavor.

dessert was this:

chocolate cake, with chocolate whipped cream frosting.

top with fresh raspberries for some valentines day prettiness.

quick, easy & delicious!

Happy Valentines Day

...a day late.

so what. i have this adorable cake to make up for it.

i wish i could say that i made this....it would have been the cutest

valentine baking project. instead you'll have to wait until later this week to see

what i whipped up this weekend.

[here]

mini strawberry lemon cakes

this might be one of my favorite recipes so far.

it was another spur of the moment,

bake with whatever i find in the cabinet kind of night.

i baked lemon cake mix (yes i know. another cake mix,

but hey, it was late and spur of the moment.)

instead of baking the cake in a regular cake pan, i divided

the batter into muffin tins, for easy individual servings.

i whipped up some semi-homemade frosting and mixed in

a little strawberry extract for added flavor.

top with sliced fresh strawberries and enjoy!
