V-Day, V-Day.

For some strange reason, I really got into Valentine's Day this year.  I don't know what happened, but I guess I'm a fan now.  I think it is a cheesy way to let the people around you know how much you love them.  I just love love.   

I really wanted to bake and make lots of fun treats.  Since all of my room mates were out of town, me and my neighbor Whitney decided to combine our baking forces and call it a party.  This is what became of

 it-- TONS of sweets, an unexpected amount of people, a kissing wall, and a chihauhua.

Here is a heart shaped fruit pizza I made.  I have the best recipe...

1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. oil
1 egg
1 tsp. cream of tarter
1 tsp. baking soda
2 c. flour
1/4 tsp salt

Mix butter, sugar and vanilla, then add oil and eggs. MIx well then add the rest of the ingredients. Mix just until blended. Should refridgerate but if no time okay.
put in a jelly roll pan and spread evenly and bake at 350 for 10 min

2 -8 oz cream cheese

1/2 tso almond extract

1/2 tsp vanilla

2/3 c. powdered sugar

 

Cream together all ingredients well and spread evenly over the cooled cookie crust. Use and assortment of your favorite fruits thinly sliced and place on top of cream cheese spread (blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, raspberries, peaches work welll

For some reason the guys willingly put on lipstick for the kissing wall... What can I say Marci has a talent.

I LOVE the Gruwells!  Eliza brought her Valentine present with her... the cutest little chihauha I've ever seen (besides Bruiser of course haha)

The incredible Miss Whitney.

Me and my friend, Jay, who just got back from his mission.

Me and some of the girls in my ward.  They are so sweet and I just love my ward.

Hahahahaha is all I gotta say.

and thaaat's a wrap!
