Happy almost Valentine's Day, Reader! When it comes to Valentine's Day, I feel like there are two kinds of recipes: The ones that make cute little hearts out of everything in shades of red and pink, and the ones that overload on chocolate. I love both, but I have more far more chocolate recipes than heart recipes on my website, so I guess that tells you where my preferences lie! Speaking of, did you know that you can add The Floral Apron as a preferred source on Google? You might have noticed that if you search for a keyword like "small batch focaccia," my focaccia recipe will sometimes show up at the top of the search results. And other times, you may have to scroll for a bit until you find mine. If you add me as a preferred source, though, Google will prioritize showing you my easy-to-follow recipes with cleanup ratings when you search for a recipe idea! You can even add some of your other favorite bloggers and websites, too 🥰 It's free, and it helps Google provide you with more relevant search results! That said, I'm sharing my favorite chocolatey Valentine's Day recipes below to save you a search ;) Valentine's FavoritesIf non-chocolatey Valentine's Day recipes are more your thing (like Linzer cookies or red velvet cupcakes), I put all of my Valentine's Day recipes in one spot for you! May your Valentine's Day be full of cute lil hearts and chocolate. Happy baking! P.S. If you make any of these recipes, it would mean the world if you leave a review of how the recipe turned out! It goes a long way to let others know it's a tried and trusted recipe 💛 |
Hi, I'm Alyssa! The Floral Apron is home to easy-to-follow recipes with cleanup ratings. Every single recipe has a picture of the dirty dishes at the end, so you know exactly what you’re committing to before you even start on it! I also take care to thoughtfully write all of my recipes, so they’re great for beginners.
Happy October, Reader! Fall is officially here, and so are pumpkin bakes! ...along with the inevitable ¾ cup of leftover pumpkin that you put in your fridge with the best of intentions 😅 You can shuffle the can around in your fridge for the next three weeks, orrrr you can give it a second chance and make a pumpkin dessert this week to use it up! I've put a few of my favorite pumpkin recipes below. Each one uses one cup or less of pumpkin, so they're perfect for helping you use up that last...
Happy September, Reader! The mornings here have started cooling off, so fall feels like it's just around the corner. And while it's probably what we Californians like to call "false fall" with a future heatwave right around the corner... sometimes it's nice to pretend ;) If you're looking to make it feel like fall in your kitchen, here are some of my favorite early fall bakes by flavor, starting with my newest recipe! Early Fall Favorites NEW: Brown sugar chai cookies! They're spiced to...
Hey, Reader! Summer is rapidly coming to an end, which means fall baking is just around the corner... 👀 But until then, I'm enjoying spending a little less time in the kitchen than usual—after all, it is still a million degrees outside! I've been making lower-effort meals and desserts the last few weeks, and I thought I'd share some of them with you. They're ideal for both holding onto the last bits of summer and getting back into the swing of school :) My Favorite Low-Fuss Recipes My newest...
