Valentine's Day and chocolate go together so why not try this Chocolate Ricotta Pudding with Raspberry Sauce. :: Chocolate Ricotta Pudding ::

Do you have your Valentine’s Day plans all figured out? Menu all planned? If not, don’t fret! This recipe for Chocolate Ricotta Pudding With Raspberry Sauce is a magical end to a Valentine’s Day meal at home. Sara shared, in the guest post recipe of Nutella Cheesecake featured on Simple As That, her favorite Valentine’s Day plans.  She like myself, tends to spend the night-in with the kids and hubby, rather than battle with the prices and the crowds. We both often don’t have the luxury of having our husbands home on holidays, so it makes like easier to make a fun meal at home.  Often times it’s just our kids and us, so dessert has to be the star of the show!

Homemade Fudgesicles

:: Homemade Fudgesicles ::

Homemade Fudgesicles are the perfect way to cool down on a hot day.  They are a simple and refreshing dessert that can be created with your kids.  Ice pops in general, feature a few quality ingredients that allow for a healthier dessert.  I don’t know about you, but in our house… dessert is a must! With my sweet tooth, and the kids following not far behind, homemade pops are easy to control the sugary sweetness. Not-to-mention, they only require a few simple tools to create. I like to use Tovolo Pop Molds.  This recipe can also be used with Zoku Quick Ice Pop Makers, or even using a small disposable water cup with old-fashioned wooden sticks.  My kids enjoyed helping and testing the chocolate mixture, as well as, having a taste or two of the chopped chocolate.  Home economics at it’s finest, allows for a teachable yet fun moment with family!  This classic recipe makes you remember why you loved getting one of these from the ice cream truck as a kid!

Chocolate Marshmallow Cake

This mocha rich fluffy Chocolate Marshmallow Cake recipe

has been a faithful friend of mine for the past 10 years.

I found this lovely recipe in Cooking Light when

Shane and I first got married and

it remains a staple in our household.

So when I signed up to bring a dessert to Grandparent’s Day at

Madeline’s school, I knew boring brownies just wouldn’t do.

This rich and dense chocolate cake is a LIGHT recipe,

but you wouldn’t know it by the looks and taste of this

yummy surprise.
