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!

Fabulous roundup–and so glad I could be part of it! Everything looks amazingly scrumptious and I can’t wait to try some of these recipes! (Maybe I missed something, but didn’t the event say make “anything” pink? Or did it have to be baked goods? I’m guessing there must be SOME other pink foods out there. . . ?!!). Well, more dessert for me!

Thanks for hosting this! 🙂

The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) program is dedicated to increasing awareness about the importance of the early detection of breast cancer through a nationwide campaign. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. Mammograms are the best method to detect breast cancer early when it is easier to treat and before it is big enough to feel or cause symptoms. Having regular mammograms can lower the risk of dying from breast cancer.
