Valentine's Day is a celebration for all ages; however, after the parties at school, most children have had more than their fair share of chocolate and sugar.

However, for the adults, a sweet treat can be the perfect way to complete a candlelit dinner. Whether you choose to make a gourmet dinner or order pizza, this dessert will be a beautiful final course. Easy to make but also beautiful,

Carrots Aren’t Just for Snowmen
by Think Tasty January 16th, 2012 | Recipe
In the lull between New Year's and Valentine's Day, it can be a gloomy season. The sun still sets early, and the temperatures are low on the thermometer; however, sometimes Mother Nature can add some fun in the form of a snowstorm.
I know snowstorms mean shoveling and scraping, but they also mean fun for kids. What snowstorm is complete without the building of a snowman on the front lawn? And what snowman is complete without a carrot nose?

Growing up, one of the few ways that my mom could guarantee that I was eating enough vegetables was to hide them in my food. This gave meatloaf surprise a whole new meaning. Seriously, I don’t think I’ll ever recover from finding pieces of Brussels Sprouts in the center of my meatloaf.
Fortunately, my mom was aware of my sweet tooth and started making carrot bread and zucchini bread as a snack. The great thing about zucchini bread is it tastes nothing like zucchini – it’s sweet, moist, and utterly delicious.

Sausage, Apple, and Craisin Stuffing
by Shannon Cyr November 10th, 2011 | Recipe
One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is stuffing! Growing up, my mom always made several different types of stuffing to appease the different palates in our family. Our Thanksgiving Day table always had a traditional stuffing, a cornbread stuffing, a sausage stuffing, and a fruit and nut stuffing. While I love each stuffing flavor, the idea of making four different variations of one dish is a little bit overwhelming.
So, this year, I decided to try something a little different – I searched allrecipes.com for a recipe that combined all of my favorites into one recipe. I couldn’t find

Eggplant Parmesan
by Shannon Cyr October 13th, 2011 | Recipe
While most Americans are familiar with the mnemonic, “Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492,” many don’t know that Christopher Columbus was of Italian, not Spanish, descent. Columbus sailed under the Spanish flag, because King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain offered monetary support when few others could, or would. Ferdinand and Isabella financed Columbus’ expedition hoping that he would find a faster route to the Orient, and the highly coveted trade items spice and silk.
Since Columbus was Italian, why not celebrate Columbus Day this year with a tasty Italian dish like Eggplant Parmesan?
