Galentine’s Day: Pretty, Playful & Shareable

Galentine’s is all about celebrating friendship! Think bright colors, snack boards and build-your-own treats.

Berry Bliss Brunch Board

Create a stunning brunch spread featuring:

Pancakes or waffles
Greek yogurt or whipped cream
Dark chocolate chips
Granola
Honey drizzle
Harmony House Berry Medley (freeze-dried strawberries, raspberries and blueberries)

The freeze-dried fruit adds vibrant color and satisfying crunch. Guests can crush berries over waffles or stir them into yogurt for an instant flavor boost.

Pro Tip: Lightly crush freeze-dried strawberries and mix into whipped cream for naturally pink “berry cream.”

Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry Bites (No Fresh Berries Needed!)

Melt dark or white chocolate and dip sliced freeze-dried strawberries. Let set on parchment paper.

They’re crisp, light, intensely strawberry-forward and totally adorable!

Perfect for a dessert board or party favor bags.

Sparkling Berry Mocktails (or Cocktails!)

Add crushed freeze-dried raspberries or strawberries to:

Sparkling water or prosecco
A splash of cranberry juice
Fresh lime

The berries rehydrate slightly and infuse flavor while adding gorgeous color.

Cheers to friendship!

Valentine’s Day: Cozy, Romantic & Delicious

For Valentine’s, elevate dinner and dessert with thoughtful touches.

Strawberry Spinach Salad with Crunch

Upgrade a simple salad with:

Baby spinach
Goat cheese or feta
Candied pecans
Balsamic glaze
Crushed freeze-dried strawberries

The strawberries soften slightly from the dressing and add concentrated sweetness without extra prep.

Raspberry Balsamic Glaze for Savory Dishes

Crush freeze-dried raspberries into a powder and whisk into balsamic glaze for:

Drizzling over steak
Glazing chicken
Finishing roasted vegetables

It adds subtle sweetness and a gourmet twist.

No-Bake Berry Cheesecake Cups

Mix crushed freeze-dried strawberries or blueberries into:

Graham cracker crust
Cream cheese filling
Or sprinkle on top for garnish

Layer into small glasses for elegant, individual desserts. The berry powder naturally colors the filling a soft pink - no artificial dyes needed.

Sweet Snack Ideas for Either Celebration

DIY trail mix with nuts + dark chocolate + freeze-dried fruit
