Healthy Valentine's Day Treats

I am sure you are all well aware that it is Valentine’s Day tomorrow. Whether you are loved up or single, there are some recipes here for you to enjoy.

There seems to be a split when it comes to people’s opinion of Valentine’s Day. Some go all out with the red roses and the candlelit dinner and some completely shun it and think it is a money making scheme. Some, including myself, fall somewhere in the middle.

Of course you don’t need one day a year to show someone how much you love them. But at the same time, why not use the day as an excuse to show them even more. For my husband and I, we see Valentine’s Day as just an excuse to be even more romantic. Sometimes we go out, and sometimes we have a nice meal at home, but what we always do is use it as a reminder of how lucky we are.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about couples. It is about love! Spend it with a friend or a family member. It also doesn’t have to be about anyone expect you. Loving yourself is one of the most important things, so perhaps use tomorrow to be a day all about you. Pamper yourself.

Chocolate and Valentine’s Day kind of go hand in hand. Well, if the advertising has anything to say about it. That doesn’t mean you have to stuff yourself with boxes of chocolates. Make your loved one, or even yourself, a healthy chocolate dessert this year. Here are some to get you started:

Chocolate Fudge Brownies

Healthy Chocolate Dessert

Nut Butter Brownies

Flourless Chocolate Brownies

Chocolate and Almond Butter Oat Cookies

Chocolate Banana Pops

What are you doing for Valentine’s Day?

3 Tammy: I make your raw brownies at least once a week and my little boy LOVES them. It is so nice to know that I can still give him a treat and not worry about what is in it.

I use seed butter though, as he is allergic to nuts.

Salsa Picante

With my ongoing obsession with salsa (seriously, what can you not put it on?), I am making different types of salsa. I have already posted a regular salsa recipe, as well as one for pico de gallo, but salsa picante falls somewhere in the middle of the two in terms of chunkiness. I have even posted a mango salsa recipe. I usually make up a big batch of this and then store it in the fridge. It will keep for around 5 days - if you don't eat it all before then of course. Salsa makes ...

Slow Cooked Lime and Coriander (Cilantro) Chicken Tacos

With trying to get back into a routine and catch up on work I have missed, I haven't had a lot of time for cooking over the past 2 days. Therefore the slow cooker has been my best friend. If you haven't got a slow cooker yet, you really should. Even though I do tend to use mine more in the winter, there are still plenty of things you can use it for in the summer. Although this chicken was used for tacos, you can use it for anything. You can make a big batch of it for the week to add ...

Creamy Mushroom Soup

When I was younger, whenever I was feeling ill my Mum would make me mushroom soup. There is just something so comforting about it. It is warming and filling, which is why I made it today as it is freezing in the UK. Today I am getting back on track with my eating and this soup is low in carbs and calories and delicious too. The perfect lunch to ease me back into healthy eating. Ingredients - Serves 3: - 15 medium mushrooms, sliced - 2 medium onions, dice ...

Asthma Awareness

Do you know everything about asthma? Every year, on the first Tuesday in May, we celebrate World Asthma Day and support those affected by this illness as well as educate people around its symptoms and affects. Statistics have shown that many people in the UK are still unaware how this illness impacts your life and the things that are important to you and hence still believe this illness has an effect on their life insurance. With 4.3 million adults in the UK suffering from asthma, ...

Tomato and Basil Salad Dressing

I have been experimenting with making some oil free salad dressings and this is one of them. It isn't because I think oil is bad, not at all. I think olive oil should be included in your diet, as it is a healthy fat, but as with everything, you don't want to be having loads of it everyday. So if you have already had a lot of fats during the day, a oil free salad dressing would be good instead of the store bought ones that are loaded with oil. Oil often adds a lot of the flavour to s ...
