Valentine's Recipe Ideas: Add Some Love to Your February Meals!

In summary, the author has chosen her January recipes, and sent them out to hosts. She has three booked in for early Feb, and is offering a Valentine's theme. There are many recipes available online that can be used for this theme. Some ideas include a pink trifle, cherry almond angel roll, and cherry cordial torte.

So, I've picked my January recipes, and sent out to hosts. I've three booked in for early Feb and thought it might be fun to offer a Valentine's theme.

So anyone got any good ideas for recipes to accompany the theme?:love:
 
There is a lot of ideas from previous years. I recommend going to search and type in "pink" "love" "Valentine's Day" and other key phrases. There are many to choose from!!

Why not a pink trifle??
 
I made a layered Cookie mix in the batter bowl using Valenitine's M&M's in the layers and took the already baked cookies to the show. I made a quick savory recipe, maybe a heart shaped pizza using slices of crescent roll dough for the the crust; pre-bake it and put cream cheese and mayo mixture on top of cooled dough and red veggies on top...red peppers and cherry tomatoes or chopped tomatoes. A pink fluffy dessert in the trifle bowl is really pretty too.

I love to use the Cherry Almond Angel Roll in All The Best. It is pink and pretty when finished, plus the cherry theme goes along with Washington's birthday. I bake the angel food cake and roll it in one of PC's towels at home. At the show, I give an explanation of what was done before I begin the demonstration of the remainder of the recipe. Always a hit and sells the large bar pan.
 
I don't have all the best, could someone post the recipe for the cherry almond angel roll?
 
I can do that tomorrow. I will need to scan it first. Another good recipe would be the Cherry Cordial Torte in the Festive Holiday Desserts. I did that for my December shows, but thought it would make a nice February show too. I made the brownie in the torte pans at home, removed them from the pans and layered wax paper in between the two to take to the shows. It was a BIG hit and sold the torte pans too.
 
Okay, here's the recipe but what the heck are cherry preserves? Would pie filling work? Or is it like a jam/jelly? I've never even SEEN cherry jelly...

Cherry Almond Angel Roll

This delightful cake, filled with cherry preserves and almond-flavored cream, can be made well in advance (Pictured on p. 84-85)

Cherry preserves are sort of like jam. You should be able to find cherry jam.
 
I use a cherry jelly found in our small town grocery store. And it is just as good with strawberry.

Trader Joe's has a REALLY good Cherry fruit spread (similar to jelly)
They also have raspberry, strawberry, mixed fruit & apricot orange all really yummy!
