Healthy Valentines

My little one has already put in her request for chocolate ... more specifically chocolate cake ... and she is not even three years old yet! She sure knows her chocolate, though.

Actually, I may have broccoli, I have a broccoli salad I want to make soon. It is yummy. I have chocolate on hand as well.

Maybe orange cauliflower, if it lasts that long. (It's already starting to look iffy...)

Hi dawn, I love broccoli and have great recipe´s for them. But I´m afraid it WILL NOT take the place of chocolates, specially for children. You behaved like a bawdy witch with your poor apprentice! But aren´t you glad that now chocolate is actually good for your health? I never listen to what doctors say about food: I know my body knows better and the only thing I have to watch out are the quantities. Butter and eggs have been banned. Now butter is prefered to marguerine and eggs do wonders with the good cholesterol levels. I suggest you find a secret depression and treat it with chocolates. No need to go to a shrink and have him give you antidepressants. Just watch out fot the quantity! Hug!

Hi Dawn, Nice new image! I like it. Well, my kids just had their valentines program yesterday. it was a triple celebration. Teachers' Day, Chinese New Year and Valentines Day. It was fun. But my kids brought donuts for the celebration. I can't imagine them bringing broccoli in school. You know what Dawn? brocolli is very expensive here in our country and we seldom have it for meals. i love brocolli and i used to buy it during pay days. happy hearts day to you and to your lovely kids. hugs to them!

Broccoli Salad is good to prepare. Kids love it. Chocolate is good too. Try Chocolate Broccoli Salad. lol

i am hoping for cheese! well hey..i like cheese.more than chocolate.i'm weird LOL of course cheese does go well with broccoli now that i think of it..

I certainly hope i don't. Happy valentine's to u & the kids.

Hi dawnald, Lol! they are too clever then you think, I've tried that with hubby telling him chocolate was bad for him and that he will put on weight, but it didn't work as he is a keen cyclist and needs sugar, mind you I am good as I don't touch any of the chocolate that is in the fridge and I think to myself, its not mine.

No we are having Brussel Sprouts, Hubby loves them and I do make a good dish with them. Of course I've a little chocolate to add to his meal.

Isn't Valentines day over already?

Noway anyone better try and sneak broccoli in my chocolate filled heart..hint hint..if my b/f reads this.

My daughter's teacher said not to bring chocolate to class for the kids for Valentine's Day - too much sugar and blah blah blah. So what does everyone bring? The hard candies! She brought home a bag full of sugar which she's not going to let go of . . . it's Halloween all over again - ahhhhh!! Broccoli on Valentine's Day? Hardy har har. I did convince her that she may have one of her Valentine's lollipop if she eats all of her spaghetti for lunch (my sauce with tons of veggies). No broccoli though! Maybe save that green for next month - St. Patrick's day - hee hee.

Very cunning plan there dawnald. Too bad the kid never fell for it, otherwise you would have a nice little stack of chocolates all to yourself to munch through and enjoy

hi dawnald oh your kids are on to you and you love of chocolate too. I can see the broccoli bit did not help a bit. well I went shopping yesterday, got two bliss bars and on unknown chocolate bar, shame on me I ate them both yesterday Now I have no chocolate at all today. wah sob. oh well guess there's always broccoli as a last resort.

No, I am not having any kind of Valentine's Day and if I were then it would not be a BROCCOLI one. I adore chocolate. Simply love it. I love it all and especially chocolate with coffee creame in the centre. I have guests leaving today and some coming in later today and I have to make the Valentine's Night special for them so this will keep me busy and out of mischief.

i would say,having a healthy valentine is very vita;i mean keeping it real,by things the right way.in essence,we must avoid illicit or immoral act .valentine, as the name implies is a time of love,not only to your love ones,but, to everyone around you. so lets share love austafrance
