Valentine's Day Recipes
Thursday, February 12, 2009
We all know that holidays somehow surround food or eating out or over indulging. Valentine's Day (V-Day) is no different & of course there is CHOCOLATE! Yes, dark chocolate can be good for you but in moderation! It still has lots of fat & calories if you eat too much.
In honor of V-Day, I wanted to share some recipes with you. Hey, eating at home not only will save you calories & keep you on your program but in these money hard times, this will save you dollars as well! Diet Detective had an article with a bunch of healthier recipes you can choose from for you & your loved one or ones. There is Jamaican Jerked chicken, chocolate cake, chocolate mousse and more! Read it here: Diet Detective V-Day Recipes
Also, Hungry Girl had a good recipe for a chocolate lava cake. When compared to a restaurant version, this recipe makeover cut out 255 calories & reduced the fat by 18.5 grams!!!! Check it out here: HG Chocolate Lava Cake
If you feel like pampering yourself or your loved one, read this article from Diet Detective on how to give non-food gifts like a massage or a manicure or pedicure or a personal training session. There are even a couple suggestions for lower calorie chocolate gifts. Support your loved one, don't sabotage them! And for inquiring minds, the article also lets you know "a few popular Valentine’s Day treats and how much sex (or walking) it would take to burn them off (in minutes). You just might be surprised by the amount you would need to do." Read it all here: Diet Detective V-Day Gifts
Hope you all enjoy a healthy AND fun Valentine's Day!
