Valentine Box Tablescape

Happy Belated Valentine's Day from Red Couch Recipes!  We hope you had a wonderful day.

This was my daughter's Valentine box from last year.  She made a romantic Valentine Breakfast for Two.  Each year at her school, except this year, they hold a Valentine Box contest. She did win some kind of award for her tablescape last year.

How would you like waffles, an ice cream cone, and candy skewers for breakfast?

This year the school did not sponsor a Valentine Box contest; I guess it was good that she did it up big last year.

I am posting this with Tablescape Thursday.  I bet there are no other tablescapes like this one posted!

Thanks for dropping by Red Couch Recipes!

Heart Scones

Welcome to Red Couch Recipes where love is in the air.  You can easily make these heart scones in a jiffy and serve up some love to those you love.

I made homemade pizza on Friday night.  Almost always I double the pizza dough so that I have some leftover dough to make scones.  This is the recipe that I use for pizza dough. 

Heart-Shaped Pizzas

 Sometimes, I add a little olive oil to the dough.  I ususally make the pizza dough with a mixture of fifty percent white flour and fifty percent whole wheat flour  For the scones, roll out the dough and cut them out.  I usually roll the dough out to a little less than one-half inch.  Of course, you could also use some frozen dough.

These are grilled scones or pan-fried scones like my mother used to make back in Wisconsin when I was a child.  Here in the west they deep fry scones, but I always have loved pan fried scones.  I use my panini grill to grill them.  This was the grill that my husband thought I would never use!  I place the heart dough, with a little bit of olive oil or butter on it, then I allow it to cook a few minutes before I bring down the cover. 

Serve the scones with some butter and perhaps a little jam and you are ready for a lovelyValentine's Day treat.

Love Blocks

Welcome to Red Couch Recipes, where love is in the air.  I recently helped the 10 cutest girls in the world (my church Activity Day girls) make these Love Blocks to give away to someone they love.  They formed LOVE with their bodies.  I cut 3 x 3 blocks of wood from 2 x 4's.  The girls sanded the blocks, painted the blocks, and then applied Modge Podge to the blocks.

Isn't my daughter a cute one?
