Will You Be My Valentine?

It's not true that if something tastes good, it must be bad for us. Here are some of my favorite Valentines' recipes to celebrate the day. They're delish, easy to do, and are actually kind to our loved ones' hearts.

Cacao Truffles Richly chocolatey and packing an antioxidant punch, these little truffles are a beautiful, simple way to share our love, and the perfect finale to any meal.

Little Sweethearts These tasty little chocolate bites get their crunch from roasted buckwheat. Low fat, high fiber, popping with polyphenols. My sweetheart loves my sweethearts because they’re delicious. I love them because they are so good for him and take no time to make at all.

English Scones This is a new take on light and airy brunch scones. No butter to weigh you down, no sugar to spike insulin, they are a gorgeous pastry to share. They are a cinch to prepare, and their aroma is heavenly.

Devilish Bites These devilishly good little morsels satisfy when that desire for chocolate comes calling. Gluten-free, climate-friendly, they're nutrient-dense, full of fiber and antioxidants. So, why not?
