Homemade Marshmallows for Valentine's Day

The process does involve melting sugar, and using a candy thermometer, but you can do it.

How to Make Bread Bowls

Is there any soup that doesn't taste better when served in a freshly baked bread bowl?

You should try making your own because they are easy and {I think} really pretty.

They take a simple soup to the next level and make it a little special.

After all, we eat with our eyes first.

Plus they're just plain fun.

Sounds impressive.

They were simple.
