Valentine's Day

What a winter. We have been having so much snow that we spend a lot of time shoveling it away. My brother JC doesn't help much but at least he has the sense to wear some gloves - unlike my dad.


Even though my dad doesn't wear gloves, he usually shovels out the entire half street and grassy areas. This way we can ride our bikes and restore my mom's sanity!

This Valentine's day, though, the snow has frozen to the point where my dad couldn't clear enough bike space. So we ended up baking treats instead. Here you can see my successful venture at recreating the Glazed Brownie Hearts from the 2010 Betty Crocker calendar.



Not to be outdone, my momma made us heart shaped chocalate chip pancakes with honey cinnamon syrup. They pack the sugar punch of two dozen Krispy Kreme donuts!

I am so impressed by the pancakes!! I guess you did those with a mold, right?

Uh, that is some pretty impressive shoveling of the half street!

Mmmm, nothing says love like chocolate (in my book) and pancakes (in Andy's book).
