Since it’s Valentine’s Week, I’d like to remind everyone that Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples – treat yourself and your loved ones! Valentine’s Day is symbolic of love for anyone and everyone!

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day and celebrating love, I’ve compiled a list of cute and yummy recipes to try out and enjoy! Take a look below:

1. Frosted Sugar Cookie Bars

a. Do you enjoy sugar cookies? Need a quick recipe to take to work? Let’s face it – who doesn’t enjoy a quick little bite of a sugar cookie every once in a while? Well, this recipe is for you! The taste of a sugar cookie with a nice layer of frosting and the texture and size of a brownie bar sounds like HEAVEN.

a. Now I know we’ve all tried chocolate covered strawberries — or at least heard of them. But, have you tried it in a cupcake? This recipe is adapted from vanilla cupcakes and strawberry cake and sounds delicious. And better yet,this recipe doesn’t use any artificial strawberry flavours! You get to use fresh, real strawberries and still satisfy that sweet tooth.
