A Personal Note from Janine

Happy February!

I’m so excited that a new month is here, and it means we’re getting closer to spring! I’ve noticed the trees around here starting to bud, and the flowering trees show signs of blossom buds.

Even though we’re technically still in the winter season, I can’t help but daydream about the warmer days ahead.

Today, my mind is all about Valentine’s Day treats. I’ve made a decision to temporarily ditch my diet on February 14th so I can fully enjoy some homemade macaron cookies.

And yes, I recently took another macaron class, and now I’m feeling like a pro when it comes to whipping up these little gems!

Pull up a comfy chair, grab a warm drink, and let’s catch up!

VALENTINE SUGAR COOKIES

I always wanted my sugar cookies to look like store-bought ones. I was always frustrated when the cookies spread while baking, and sadly I ended up with a bloated shaped cookie.

A couple of years ago, I finally cracked the case of making a perfectly shaped sugar cookie. And I’m sharing my tips with you today. I promise you’ll have the prettiest-shaped cookies if you follow the sugar cookie recipe directions.

Check out this wonderful sugar cookie recipe, and you won’t be disappointed!

Glaze the donuts in pretty pastel colors and top with fun candy sprinkles. These cute Valentine’s treats are bite-sized and perfect for a Valentine’s Day celebration.

HEART-SHAPED PANCAKES FOR VALENTINE’S DAY

We had one mission this past weekend: to make Heart-Shaped Pancakes! You see, most evenings, we watch one episode of The Great British Baking Show, and the other day, they had to make 12 identical lace pancakes. My husband and I were totally up for this technical challenge and pleasantly surprised by the results.

Need a beautiful feminine cake for a special occasion? Then it would help if you made this Easy Rosette Cake Tutorial. This stunning cake is impressive with its gorgeous floral frosting.

EASY BRUSHSTROKE FROSTED SUGAR COOKIES

I’ve got to give a huge shoutout to my friend Eden at Sugar and Charm. She’s incredibly creative, especially when it comes to baking. Those heart cookies she whipped up look so effortlessly elegant, and I bet they taste absolutely amazing. Plus, the idea of using food coloring swatches is just genius!

This Week’s Tip – Freezing Lemons

FREEZING LEMONS

If you have lemon trees in your yard, chances are you’ve got a surplus of lemons at the moment. If you’re not keen on juicing and freezing them, I’ve got a straightforward solution for you.

Simply give them a good wash and dry, and pop them into your freezer – yes, the whole lemon!

When it comes time to use them for culinary adventures, you can easily thaw them in the microwave for a few seconds or leave them on your kitchen counter. While the lemons might become somewhat mushy, the juice remains perfectly usable.

And if you’re after that lovely lemon zest, don’t bother thawing the lemons; grate them while they’re still frozen for the best results!

Latest Obsession – Cool Valentine’s Day Drink
