valentine’s day cranberry tart

Today’s project is by my favorite food blogger/food photography expert, Erin!

Hi everyone! I am Erin of fresh365 and am excited to be sharing a fun Valentine’s Day recipe today on mint. Thank you so much for having me, Ellie! My first thought when hearing about the Valentine’s theme, was a cranberry tart. I thought the deep red color would be perfect, and of course who doesn’t love something sweet on Valentine’s Day? My approach to cooking, and especially baking, is keep it simple. I don’t enjoy spending hours in the kitchen laboring over fussy doughs, when I would rather be spending time with friends and family, so I used an easy crust and filling here. I hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I did (I’m on my second piece as I type!). Have a happy, happy holiday, and thanks again Ellie!

Jillian of 22 Pages is an artist with a passion for reuse. She says her studio is “cluttered with vintage books and maps. X-acto knives are placed carelessly in teacups and glue drips lazily onto scrap pieces of paper. I prefer to create with materials that have found themselves in flea markets, thrift stores, and garbage cans. I love the idea of taking something that is no longer needed and making it part of something that somebody will find amusing, hopeful, and maybe even useful.”

This holiday, she’s sponsoring a giveaway. The person who sends her a photo of the best, creative, environmentally friendly, upcycled gift wrapping will get an item from her beautiful etsy shop. You can find out more info about the giveaway here.


vosges chocolates

Yesterday I opened up my mailbox to find a 4 piece set of holiday truffles from Vosges! The box was so pretty that I thought about taking a picture, but somehow the chocolates disappeared before I had a chance. The Eggnog and Jamaican Rum (with ginger!) was Brendan’s favorite, and Holiday Plum Pudding was mine. Vosges also has the most delicious exotic chocolate bars, in flavors like Dark Chocolate Bacon and Woolloomooloo (roasted & salted macadamia nuts with coconut)—luckily for me I can buy these at a coffee shop just down the street! A boxed set of truffles, chocolate bars, or (the ultimate) year long chocolate subscription would make an awesome gift. Oh and for Christmas delivery? Don’t worry procrastinators, you just need to order by the 23rd. Yum.

Thanks Vosges!
