Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
2 dozen large strawberries with stems
12-oz bag of white or milk chocolate chips

In a microwave on the defrost setting or ten percent power, melt one 12-oz. bag of chocolate chips.  Stir well every minute or so until completely smooth. Dip strawberries into the chocolate by holding the stems. Cover about ¾ of each berry and let excess chocolate drip off. (If you want to add miniature chocolate chips or candies as decoration, add them immediately after dipping) Place the strawberries on waxed paper in the refrigerator to allow chocolate to set. Additionally you may want to melt a contrasting color chocolate chip and drizzle diagonally onto the already made and set chocolate covered strawberries for an added touch. Refrigerate and serve the same day they are made for best results.

Be Mine Valentine Pie
1 cup Water
1 – 3 oz cherry or strawberry-flavored gelatin
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 – 9″ pie shell
chocolate kisses

In a 4-cup glass measuring cup stir together the water and gelatin. Microwave, uncovered, on 100% power for about 2 minutes. Add the ice cream to the gelatin and stir until the ice cream is totally melted. Chill the mixture for about 1/2 hour, stirring a few times. Pour the chilled mixture into your pie shell. Chill about 4 hours. Arrange kisses in a heart shape on the top of the pie

Sugar Free Valentine Cherry Pie
2 deep dish pie shells
2 - 16 oz. cans tart sour cherries with juice
3 T. cornstarch
¼ c. granulated sugar replacement
¼ t. almond extract
a dash of salt
red food coloring

Drain cherries but reserve ½ cup of cherry juice. Combine reserved cherry juice, cornstarch, sugar replacement, almond extract and salt in saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened, though the mixture will not be clear. Add a few drops of red food color, fold in cherries and allow filling to rest while preparing pie shells.

Place one shell in pie plate, securing dough to plate by pressing edge with tongs of a wet fork. Cut away excess. Cut second pie shell into 8 heart shaped designs with cookie cutter. Prick with fork. Pour cherry filling into pie shell. Arrange hearts evenly on top of cherry filling. Bake at 425 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes or till crust is browned.

One recipe that kids really enjoy to make and eat is Ants on a Log. Not only is this a very healthy treat with protein and vitamins, but there’s no cooking involved! A two year old could make Ants on a Log nearly as easily as you! All you need are the following ingredients and tools: peanut butter, clean celery ribs, raisins and a spoon. Simply scoop out a spoonful of peanut butter and smear it all along into the hollow of the celery stick. Now drop raisins on top of the celery like a trail of ants and Voila! You have Ants on a Log! Kids really get a kick out of these, and there’s absolutely no way to make them wrong.

Ice Cream Sandwiches are as much fun to make as they are to eat. You will need: vanilla (or your favorite flavor) ice cream, chocolate chip (or any other you like) cookies and an ice cream scoop. Now take two cookies and lay them flat. Place a scoop of ice cream on one cookie. Then put the other cookie on top of it. These Ice Cream Sandwiches can be enjoyed right away. To save some for later, wrap the individual sandwiches in plastic wrap. You can put these in a plastic container or freezer bag and keep them in the freezer, but I guarantee they won’t be there for long!

Cooking with kids is fun for them as well as for us. There’s nothing quite like the look on a child’s face when they’ve accomplished something they can be proud of. With the above recipes, no matter how much of it ends up on them- the results will be delicious!
