My 2018 Pi pie recipe is coming up soon, I promise.

In the meantime, to kick off the month I have a Pie Collection for Pi Day – sweet and savory, pie for everyone! Included in my years of recipes I have pizza, I have breakfast pie, I even have pie bites. For this upcoming important day, however – all the pies I am sharing here today were specifically made for Pi Day.

Vegan Valentines Sweet Recipe Collection

February 11, 2018 by Kristina Sloggett 8 Comments

this Vegan Valentines Sweet Recipe Collection has all the pinks and reds and sweet and sparkle that any of your Valentines could wish for.

Vegan Valentines Sweet Recipe Collection

ah, Valentines Day.

the holiday so many like to dislike.

Single or attached, I have always liked Valentines Day. Single and spending it with friends, or in a relationship and celebrating.

Jason and I typically do not celebrate with a night out, and these days we may not always do gifts.

Well, since getting married, we actually do the traditional anniversary gifts on this day. Because Valentines Day is the day we secretly got married in 2014. Yep, we were married with just a few loved ones as witnesses, with my brother in law officiating. Karaoke and cupcakes after. It was a perfect Valentines Day, and later that same year – in the fall – we had the big ceremony and party.

Also just as glorious, with all of our loved ones in the same room – such a vibrant concentration of super love.

Anyway, not everyone likes Valentines Day.

and that is okay – I get it.

I will always like it, and I will always create pinks and reds in sweet flavored treats!

I don’t need a card or fancy night out, and I definitely tell ALL of my loved ones on a regular basis just how important they are to me. Commercialization or not, I still love the holiday about love.

So, whether you are celebrating or not, I imagine you too can find something you like from our Vegan Valentines Sweet Recipe Collection…
