I can’t help but think that Valentine’s Day is synonymous with chocolate.
Wouldn’t you agree?
Of course, there ARE others ways to show people you love and appreciate them, without involving chocolate, or treats of any kind.
Just doing something nice for another person, or spending time together are a couple of things that come to mind.
And of course – it’s just as important to love and appreciate yourself!
In fact, if you’ve resolved to be kinder to themselves this year by eating less sugar – period – chances are you’re scrambling to find a scrumptious special occasion treat that is still good for you.
Is that even possible?
Of course!
This year, I’m planning to bake something decadent from my new “Paleo Chocolate Lovers’ Cookbook”, by Kelly Brozna – founder of The Spunky Coconut. (Even though I do not follow the Paleo diet, I love exploring her recipes, especially the ones that are free of gluten, dairy and eggs.)
Just for the record, I was blown away by the Macadamia Nut Brownies – how can anything so delicious still be good for you?
