hehe we are going to Boston Pizza for their heart-shaped v-day pizza. I am so excited. We live in a really isolated area, the trip to town is 2 hours, and BP is about as fancy as dining gets there. That's ok because I love pizza :bigsmile:

that does sound kinda funny but i thought it would be easy.
pink/red foods (tomatoes? salmon? what else?) & a drop of food coloring in a noodle dish.
sugar free jello for dessert.

heres a crafty dessert idea that actually isnt fat laden...get puff pastry thaw it a lil and use a heart shapped cookie cutter and cut out hearts. bake it till its golden and poofy cool it cut it so you have 2 heart halves and fill the bottom heart with strawberry sauce or strawberries soaked in liqour/.sugar top with other heart half....drizzle hesrheys on it to make it look my "Pretty" I did this at the old folks home two years ago and they LOVED it....

oregonlady

RECIPE: RASPBERRY SOUFFLE DESSERT

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

INGREDIENTS:
2/3 cup seedless raspberry spreadable fruit
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 large egg whites (1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoon sugar

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In large bowl, with wire whisk, beat raspberry fruit spread with lemon juice; set aside. In small bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until whites begin to mound. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add sugar, beating until sugar dissolves and whites stand in stiff peaks when beaters are lifted. With rubber spatula, fold one-third of whites into raspberry mixture until well-blended, then fold in remaining whites. Spoon mixture into 1 1/2-quart souffle dish; gently spread evenly. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until souffle is puffed and lightly browned. Serve immediately.
