So it’s no secret that one of DC’s claims to fame (you know, other than being the capital of the United States) is its beautiful Cherry Blossom Festival. It’s a fun celebration that marks the beginning of spring in DC, and the scenery is nothing less than breathtaking! There are a lot of super cool events going on to honor the cherry blossoms, and here are a few recipes (no-frills and doable in a college dorm kitchen!) to inspire you and get you in the mood for the Festival!
-
Cherry Turnovers (via Hungry Girl)
Hungry Girl did us all a solid in remaking a classic cherry turnover into this healthier alternative.
-
Cherry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast (via Babble)
Is it breakfast? Is it dessert? And most importantly…does it matter?!
-
Very Cherry Almond Muffins (via Sandra Lee)
Like “fetch,” sometimes baked-from-scratch cupcakes just aren’t going to happen. Use the shortcuts in this recipe instead, and brag to your friends about your labor-intensive efforts later.
-
Cherry Bonbon Cookies (via Yummly and Gooseberry Patch)
These are ADORABLE. Just don’t eat them all at once! (or, you know, do…)
-
Chocolate-Cherry Bomb Oatmeal (via Chocolate Covered Katie)
Chocolate for breakfast? Filling oatmeal? Chocolate Covered Katie may have just answered all our breakfast prayers—ever.
