5 of my Favorite Pink Treats

Roasted Beet Hummus – Roasted beets really brighten up this hummus recipe. And they provide a subtle earthy sweetness. Hubby and I served this at a get together with friends and it was the talk of the party.

Chocolate M&M Cookies – M&M cookies are such a classic treat. These use a brownie-like batter instead of a sugar cookie base and have M&Ms on the outside AND the inside.

White Chocolate Cranberry Mousse – White chocolate and orange zest help to mellow out the tartness of the cranberries in this mousse. It is delicate and fluffy and tastes like fall.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Beets – Another case of beets making something BRIGHT pink. Here the beets are mixed into mashed sweet potatoes. The sauteed scallions on top provide a punch of savory to this sweet veggie mash.

Berry Cream Cheese – Berries and cream cheese make a lot of sense. This super simple recipe combines the two for use on your favorite bagel.


Don’t forget about my Power of Pink Challenge – make something PINK by the end of the month to raise Breast Cancer Awareness!

    If we make more than one pink thing, can we enter more than once? Just curious… I have a few pink things on the horizon so figured it never hurts to ask. 🙂

    Glad you brought the pink challenge back!

    Julie – You can definitely enter as many pink items as you make. The more the merrier!

    Should we post ON Oct. 31st, before midnight…or do you mean that we can post any time this month as long as it’s before Oct. 31st?
    *overthinking it* 🙂
