My Paleo Valentine! 12 Chocolate Recipes to Melt Your Lover’s Heart!

Warning: CHOCOLATE ON THE BRAIN!

Let’s talk Valentine’s Day, shall we? It’s about a week away, and since my hubby will be gone the 13th and 14th, we’ll be celebrating even earlier. Never too soon to be thinking of your one true love on a completely manufactured, made-up, marketing scheme of a holiday. All skepticism aside, I will be making him some fun goodies to take to the fire station to share. Here’s a few ideas I gathered that could all be thought of as Valentine treats, which dials down to “chocolate covered.”

Firecracker Pops

Happy 4th of July! Today brings out some fun and yummy red, white, and blue themed treats. This one is no exception.

Everyday Food, July/August 2010

Ingredients:

1/2 pound strawberries, hulled
1/2 pound blueberries (we used blackberries because our daughter doesn't like blueberries)
1 1/4 cup organic, whole milk, vanilla yogurt (we used Strauss)

Directions:

In a food processor, puree strawberries. Transfer to a small bowl.
Next, puree blueberries. Transfer to a small bowl.
Pour the 3 mixtures, alternating, into 3-ounce popsicle molds, making 3-5 layers each.
With a skewer or thin-bladed knife, swirl mixtures together in an up-and-down motion.
Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until solid, about 2 1/2 - 3 hours.

Note: for a smooth consistency with these super seeded berries, you may want to press them through a sieve.
