Strawberry Breakfast Pastries

Where’s the heart-eyes emoji when you need it?! Are these heart-shaped Strawberry Breakfast Pastries not the cutest thing ever??

It’s just over a week until Valentine’s Day and I love any excuse to celebrate love! (And with the world in the crazy state that it is, we could all use a little more love.)

J and I don’t make a fuss for Valentine’s Day, but we do always make a delicious dinner together and pop open a nice bottle of wine. I also love to make a heart-shaped celebratory breakfast. Last year I made heart-shaped Lemon Ricotta pancakes, and this year, we’re having these heart-shaped Strawberry Breakfast Pastries.

Homemade Raspberry Pop Tarts

If you love pop tarts, then you will love these Homemade Raspberry Pop Tarts! All the flavor without the fake ingredients! | breakfast for dinner

Okay, I have to be honest with you and tell you that I was never allowed to eat Pop Tarts as a kid. “Too much sugar!” my mom would say, shaking her head. I also wasn’t allowed sugary cereals for breakfast - if sugar was the first ingredient in the ingredients list, it was banned from my childhood breakfast table. (Way to go, mom! My adult self thanks you!)

Now that I’m an adult (how did that happen?!) I shop for my own groceries and can buy breakfast pastries galore - but considering that Pop Tarts have 456,264,196 unpronounceable ingredients in them, I’d rather make my own!
