Today I’m featuring a cute rainbow heart printable Valentine card. This card turns any piece of candy into the perfect Valentine treat. As you can tell from the pictures, it coordinates perfectly with any of the rainbow candies like Skittles or Nerds. Or you can even try it on a delectable box of chocolates. Also note that I left enough room for the little ones to write their names. As a mom, I know how frustrating it is when you help your child prepare for their school Valentine party only to find out that the store-bought cards leave no room for the names. So forget about buying those frustrating Valentines at the store and just make your own. All you have to do is go out and purchase a bag of your favorite candy, print out the valentine on white cardstock or paper, cut them out, and attach them to the candy with tape or curling ribbon.
We had crazy blizzard conditions in Iowa today giving me a snow day to figure out what to make for the Big Game on Sunday. I decided to go with one of my favorite party foods, a Pineapple and Green Pepper Cheese Ball, which is the perfect snack for any get together. When I crafted this cheese ball, it took me back to the 80’s when my mom would make this as part of the goodies she would serve for her card club. My sister and I would happily clean up the leftovers after the party. So if you want to add some 80’s flair to your party, make this flavorful cheese ball filled with heavenly pineapple, crisp green peppers, juicy onions, and smothered with chopped pecans. It will make your guests cheer.
Start by finely chopping the green pepper.
Next finely chop the onion.
In a mixer combine the 2 (8 oz.) packages of softened cream cheese, the 1/2 cup of finely chopped green pepper, the 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion, 1 (8 oz.) can of crushed pineapple that has been well-drained, and 1 tablespoon of Lawry’s Seasoned Salt.
Mix together and form this mixture into a ball and set it on a plate covered with a layer of chopped pecans.
Then cover the cream cheese with the remaining pecans.
Now chill the cheese ball in the refrigerator for several hours to let the flavors mix together and then serve with your favorite crackers.
