You are going to love this easy 5 ingredient Valentine's Day treat! This recipe was inspired by Genevieve. She pitched me and her siblings the cutest idea- a restaurant called Treat-za. The menu would consist of dessert-themed pizzas (Get it? Treat-za rhymes with pizza... How cute is she?) with a variety of sweet toppings on cookie crusts. When I was thinking about what treat I could make them for Valentine's Day this year, "Treat-za" popped into mind! While I've had fruit pizzas before, I've never had one with a delicious OREO Cookie crust!

Who doesn't love a delicious cupcake?  Pretty much noone.  So how can you make a sugary sweet confection even better?  Why dress it up of course!  I came across these Meri Meri Cupcake Sets and think they are the cutest and SIMPLEST way to dress up your average cupcake for an event.  Whether the theme of your event is fairies, princesses, pirates or even fire trucks, there's a cupcake set that's perfect for you.  And at only $11.95 for 24 wrappers and embellishments, it's a truly easy way to elevate a simple treat to an unforgettable favor.  Some of my favorites:

Every year my husband and I ring in the New Year by making fondue and watching Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve.  Last year these activities were intermingled with our own little dance party.  I'm not kidding; we found this 90's hip hop station (you know, with songs like "Tootsie Roll") and ushered in club DeLangie.  We are such nerds.  But I love us :)  (Ok so I have to interject that my husband is sitting next to me now denying that we danced.  He's saying we "played games."  Yeah-- the game was us dancing for an hour in our living room.  It's my blog Joe!).  Anyway, we aren't really club goers but I try to create a fun and festive atmosphere at home for New Year's Eve. And I don't know about you but for me, food makes everything fun (it's a wonder I'm not 300 lbs).  So if you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary I highly recommend fab fondue and silly dancing.  Here are my favorite fondue recipes.
