Food is Love ~ Happy Valentines Day

 


Good morning! Happy Valentines Day. This sweet vintage tea towel reminds me of the cute Valentines we shared as children. How I loved that big "mailbox'' set up in Mrs Hull's second grade classroom.




Blog friend Kit was making snickerdoodles the other day from her vintage Betty Crocker cookbook. It is very similar to this children's version my mom gave me when I was about 7. 


Very ''mid-century'', 1950s design, one of her flea market cookbook finds, I think. 


I loved the heart cake! We made it every year for Valentines Day.








I learned to cook from this funny little book. It is all about using Betty Crocker mixes, something I still do. 


I made her every year for my birthday! Though I used a canned pear. It didn't ''go'' with my dinner choice of my mom's lasagna but she was okay with my choices always.


Some other favorites, still in use, if simplified [no sails on our baked potatoes these days, lol].

My friend brought me these fun Valentines from Trader Joe's!








Heart shaped cheese! So creative of TJ's.





We had more snow! Mo is all dressed up in his stylish grey Valentine sweater!





We both send Happy Valentine wishes to you all!
