Guess whoooooo is my Valentine? These fun and whimsical owls will be a hoot as a sweet treat for the little Valentine’s in your life, or for that special someone. I served these up as an after-school snack, and they were an absolute surprise and delight!

Valentine’s Day Flash Back

Good gracious. It seemed like it took forever for 2012 to get here, now Valentine’s Day is upon us! Where did the time go?? I’ve already whipped up some Valentine fun for Kellogg’s and Recipe.Com {which haven’t published yet}, but have yet to start for my own site. I do have some ideas floating around in my head and maybe a few sketched out in my trusty Little Nummies notebook. In the meantime, let’s flashback to some previous Valentine creations…

Kids Valentine’s Day Lunch: Cupig Sandwich

Kellie — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 20:23:37 +0000

As you’re prepping your Valentine’s Day meals and sweets this weekend, consider making this piglet for your lil’ Valentine. I was inspired by a Clipart image of a pig Cupid to create this oinker of a lunch treat. So. Stinkin’. Cute. My three little girls and I eat loads of peanut butter and jelly (or honey) sandwiches, but you can make Cupig out of any of your family’s favorite sandwiches. (I’m all about simplicity and making meals with ingredients you already have on hand.)

To make a LOVEBUG:
Cut 2 pieces of bread into ovals.
Make any kind of sandwich you would like using the 2 ovals.
Cut pieces of crust for the antenna, legs and tail.
I buy all natural fruit leather, which is thicker than regular fruit roll ups.
{But you can use what you have.}
I used a small lid from a container of sprinkles to cut out the spots.
Small slices of string cheese for the eyes.
2 peas for the pupils.
A conversation heart for the nose.
Gummy hearts for the ends of the antenna and tail.

Eat him before he has the chance to bite you!!!

{You little sweet pea!!}

Make any sandwich you like and cookie cutter it into a heart shape. I used a small vitamin bottle and cut out circle from the remainder of the sandwich . Cut the circle in half to make the wing. Use strips of crust for the tail. For the feet, I just hand cut the shapes out of cheddar cheese. Use conversation hearts {we all hate to love them!!} for the eyes and beak.
