I Spy.... Valentines Day Recipies

Remember playing that game in the car with your friends or siblings? There's always one kid who picked some sign you passed twelve miles back and no one ever gets it! Well, from time to time, since I want this to be a blog about raising awareness for healthier eating, I will pick a theme and search around for some good recipes out there. And, no, it will not be a guessing game of what "I spy" :)

Check out the links below for some tasty wonderful ideas for a little bit healthier Valentines Day!

For Romantic Dinner @ Home:

• Maple Balsamic Salmon with Pear and Pecans @ Life As A Plate – I love this very simple to make, yet will surely impress main course
• Boeuf Bourguignon @ Freezer Gourmet – This is a bit more time consuming but a wonderful traditional French recipe (healthier and cheaper than a French restaurant)… what says “Valentines Day” like fancy French food?
• Moose Meatloaf and other Fancy Entrees @ Universal Eater – Heather Pace, former raw only eater shares her new recipes for yummy non-raw dishes

For Yummy Desserts:

• Chocolate Lava Cakes @ The Spunky Coconut - I cannot wait to try these when I can eat eggs and chocolate again!
• Purple Velvet Torte @ Elena’s Pantry – I have made this many times and it’s a yummy fiber-filled treat
• Chocolate Pots de Crème- This is made with coconut sugar so that it’s lower Glycemic
• Raw Chocolate Pie (“A Little Slice of Heaven”) @ The Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen – I cannot wait to try this either…and raw makes it even better!

To Make with the Kiddos:

• Gluten Free Valentines day Cake Pops @ Elena’s Pantry- These are a gluten-free version from Bakerella’s yummy cake pops
• Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Balls @ Daily Bites – These pretty little gems are quick and fun!
• Gluten-free and Grain-free Best ever Brownies @ Cook it Allergy Free

Enjoy and Happy Valentines ♥,
