Thinking pink….

 

No, this is not a baby girl announcement!

I’m just thinking about the upcoming Valentine’s Day, and some fun pink ideas.

(It’s almost February, right?)

Raspberry Pineapple \Sherbet is one of my favorite ice cream/slushes ever.

The best part is that it is also easy.

All you do is buy one carton of Pineapple Sherbet ice cream, add one package of frozen raspberries (juice and all).  Thaw it just enough to mix together.  You can use it then, or refreeze it for later.  If you are using it as an ice cream you can add a few banana slices if you like.  If you want to use it as a slush, add a little 7-up or Sprite.

It is refreshing and pretty!

How about a tea party with your grandmother’s pink antique china dishes?

This was one of my favorite Valentine’s from a student at school!

Give someone a “Heart Attack” without ruining their health.

Cover their door or front lawn with fun little heart messages (or their chair at school).

Serve pink food on a pink table cloth.

We love this sugar cookie recipe.

The cookies are soft and delicious.

Linda’s Sugar Cookies:

1 cup whipping cream

1/4 cup butter

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

3 1/2 cups flour

Mix cream, butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla a few minutes then add dry ingredients.  Mix together.  Chill until cold.  Shape cookies and bake at 359 degrees for 6-8 minutes.

Read one of my favorite children’s books, by Eileen Spinelli.

And…

Who doesn’t like pink flowers?

Happy end of January-soon to be February!
