Ya’ll I’m loving doing some fun stuff in the kitchen can you tell ??  Yes I’m normally a crafter not a cooker but the fun things I have been making lately in the kitchen can almost be considered crafty !! And of course it’s all easy and budget friendly I don’t do hard and expensive.

And valentines day at mu house is FUN for me and the kids it doesn’t have to be just a LOVE holiday !! I do fun stuff for weeks in advance. crafts, food, gift baskets for the kids etc…. You can be anti V-Day and still love this stuff !!

What you need:

Strawberries

JELL-O

Milk

Nutella

Optional graham cracker crumbs.

How To + Details:

1 quart strawberries
1 box JELL-O No Bake Cheesecake Dessert Mix
1-1/3 cups milk
1/2 cup Nutella
(optional, reserve the bag of graham cracker crumbs from the box for another recipe or sprinkle over the finished filled strawberries)

Directions

In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk cheesecake filling powder with milk for 30 seconds on low. Increase speed to medium-high and whisk for 3 minutes. Add Nutella and whisk for 30 seconds. Refrigerate filling for 1 hour.

Cut the greens off each strawberry to create a flat bottom. Stand all of the strawberries up and use a knife to cut an X 2/3 of the way through the strawberry, careful not to cut through the bottom.

Fill a piping bag with a large star tip and the chilled cheesecake filling.

Use your fingers to open the center of the strawberry where you cut it and press the piping bag tip inside. Squeeze the bag to fill the strawberry allowing some to come out of the top.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

I went a few weeks ago to my local nail salon to get my amazing pedicure ! And they used what I am still thinking was a strawberry scrub. So I was inspired to make my own !! And thought it was fitting for Valentine’s day as well.

I’m thinking I may give to my daughters elementary school teachers, put in mason jars add cute ribbon and it’s a neat special gift.

Materials Needed:

1 cup Cane Sugar

1 cup Freeze-Dried Strawberries

¾ cup Organic Virgin Coconut Oil (room temperature)

1 tbsp. Vanilla Extract

Instructions:

1. Place freeze-dried strawberries in sealed zip-loc bag. Using a rolling pin, crush strawberries until very fine.

2. Combine cane sugar and crushed freeze-dried strawberries in small mixing bowl.

3. Add coconut oil and vanilla extract to dry mixture. Stir well.

4. Garnish scrub with freeze-dried strawberries.

TIPS:

Tip #1: use organic ingredients.

Tip #2: works as an exfoliator and moisturizer.

Tip #3: You can use fresh strawberry’s it just doesn’t last as long.
