I think we’ve managed this balance with this pie recipe. Making a pie for someone you love and adore on Valentine’s Day is a highly appropriate [...]

I’ve decided to create a table full of all things things ‘Valentine’s Day’ and I’ll show you everything that it contains over the next couple of days. But today is the day of these super simple candy favor bags with a Valentine trim. I have used clear cellophane bags to hold various bon-bon’s, chocolate covered [...]
