Valentine's Sugar Heart Cake

This cake is SO pink. I’m one of the girliest girls out there and this cake is *almost* too much even for me. I made the pink sugar hearts first and they’re really pink and very pretty. I thought I’d go all out and frost the cake pink too.

Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookies

Skillet Apple Crisp

This is pretty much the lazy bakers apple crisp. Perfect for a lazy weekend meal or when unexpected company comes to stay. The only effort required is peeling and chopping the apples.
