I love baking for the holidays.   I usually choose 5 or 6 recipes for each one then narrow it down to 3 or 4 that I actually end up making.  Normally I start baking about a month ahead of time and make one recipe each week until the actual holiday.

Kids and adults will love the rich, chocolate flavor of these Red Velvet Brownies.

This year has been a little different since we have a toddler in the house.  I’ve been choosing 2 or 3 recipes and making them all on the same day.  It’s easier for me to get all of the ingredients together while J is napping and then I start baking once he wakes up.  He enjoys baking with me while in the infant carrier or he plays with his refrigerator magnets while I bake.

Make a pan of Red Velvet Brownies for a sweet treat.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what to make for Valentine’s Day this year.  I knew my husband and I wouldn’t be going out like we normally do so I wanted to make a special dessert for the two of us.

Put a chocolate swirl on top of these Red Velvet Brownies

The recipes I chose for Valentine’s Day were a brownie recipe, a cake recipe, and a cookie recipe.  The first one I made was Red Velvet Brownies.  I am pretty famous for my homemade brownies and I thought that these sounded particularly tasty.  It’s basically a light chocolate brownie topped with melted chocolate all swirled together.
