Last Valentine’s Day I made this darling platter of cucumber heart slices and imagine the shock I had when this was the first item to disappear! Kids love sugar and kids love candy but like the rest of us, the same sweet treats get boring and a crisp fresh crunch can be a welcoming delight. These are a favorite since they are allergen savvy and free of the top eight major allergens. Here’s how affordable and easy it is to make these:
Cucumber Valentine’s Day Hearts (free of the top eight major allergens: peanut, tree nut, soy, dairy, egg, wheat, fish and shell fish)
- Silver tray from your local Dollar Tree or thrift shop or garage sale.
- Mini cupcake papers
- Three cucumbers (English work great too)
- Small 1½ inch heart shaped cookie cutter
Peel cucumbers and slice them in 1/4 inch thick slices. Use heart cookie cutter to cut out slices. If your hearts aren’t perfect and the bottoms are cut off no worries–no one will notice! If you are not serving right away, place heart slices in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Before serving, place 2-3 slices in mini cupcake cups and serve.
Enjoy!
Munching Valentine's Day Cupcakes!
One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
