Mini Heart Fajitas

When I make something for supper that BOTH girls enjoy and actually stay seated to eat, it's a HUGE deal to me.  These occasions are so few and far between, that when they do happen a) I document it with pictures and of course blog about it & b) I break into my happy dance - think Pee Wee Herman meets Snoopy!

What's so great about these mini fajitas, is that they are ridiculously easy to make.

I used a heart shaped cookie cutter, tortillas, their favourite cheddar cheese, some diced tomatoes and chicken. 

Then I just let them do the creating. 

 

 I was able to get 2 heart shapes out of one tortilla.

 Cue Happy Dance!

I think I'll be making these again, and again, and again!

And wouldn't they be perfect as a fun party appetizer?!

Heart to Heart

Valentine's day. Honestly, I could take it or leave it.  Well, I will take the candy and chocolate.  It's one of those days that really isn't a big a deal for my husband and I. Heck, we sometimes don't even celebrate our wedding anniversary! (we are both terrible at remembering, retaining dates - and we're OK with that)

However, for my girls, it's a whole other story.  Since the stores are covered with hearts and balloons and heart shaped candies and heart shaped balloons, it's bound to be noticed by them. Ryan even thinks that there is a Valentine's bunny that leaves us chocolate - I wish!  So to "celebrate" this day, I decided to make a heart wreath with the girls.

I told them that on Valentine's day we celebrate how much we love each other.  That we take the time to hug more, to kiss more, to laugh more and to say "I Love You" more.  And while they colour and add stickers to the hearts, it's time for mommy to eat more chocolate.
