Love Letter Pies

Love Letter Pies

This is a great Valentine’s Day treat to make with your partner or kids!

Step 1: Make a batch of your favorite pie crust recipe. For these photos I used the one from the Crisco package (mainly because I needed to get rid of the Crisco…) but a classic crust or store bought will also work.

Step 2: Roll the pie dough out into diamonds.

Step 3: Cut little hearts out of the scraps, use a cookie cutter or free style it- your choice.

Step 4: Scoop about 1 tsp of your favorite jam or filling onto the diamond. (I used PC Raspberry jam because someone left it in my airbnb) Something red is encouraged but not mandatory.

Step 5: Fold in the corners to make your envelope and place the heart on top. Add a little water to the bottom side of the heart if it won’t stick.

Step 6: Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until your desired golden brown is acquired.

Step 7: Enjoy!

5 Easy Easter Bakes

With Easter just around the corner here's...

5 Easy and Fun Easter baking!

On Sundays I take some time to share something to make life easier. This week I'm dedicating some time to the holiday that reminds us that warm weather is on it's way and makes pastel colours the best thing since sliced bread! Below is 5 great Easter bakes that anyone can do.

#5 Chocolate Eggies Cake

Who doesn't like chocolate?

Who doesn't like Hershey Eggies?

And there's nothing more fun than crushing up those Eggies... And eating the ones that try to get away. Grab your chocolate cake recipe and some chocolate icing and treat yourself to this spring treat!

#4 Carrot cupcakes

 

A classic! And the vegetables make it healthy right? Carrot cake has a rich history, when you get the chance you should look into it. If it's too much reading, click here and we can just make carrot cupcakes and forget about it.

#3 Eggie Cookies

 

I love Hershey Eggies if you haven't noticed.  Grab them at the bulk barn for the best deal!

Not the prettiest cookies but very delicious! Rip these things apart when they're still warm and enjoy the chocolately goodness.

#2 Hot Cross Buns

 

Now that song is stuck in your head. You're welcome. Such a traditional treat this time of year! Simply a bread dough with cinnamon and raisins drizzled with icing but it is drool worthy.

#1 Sweet and Salty!

Genuinely in love with this combination, so simple but it's so effective. Buttered popcorn and Hershey Eggies. Just close your eyes and embrace what you get.

This brings us to the end of our list! I hope you were inspired to do some pastel Easter goodies.
