What do Valentine’s Day, Super Bowl and American Heart Month have in Common?
Well, they share the same calendar month at first glance, but perhaps we can think about elements past that. I love to observe how food is so intricately tied into how we celebrate – whether it is sports, birth, or love. Having grown up with some internal disdain for highly commercialized holidays, as I have grown older, I like to consider what I want to ith some internal disdain for highly commercialized holidays, as I have grown older, I like to consider what I want to walk towards in life without fear or shame.
For example, my husband loves sports, so the Superbowl will be on in our house today. And he gets so excited when I make food for him, so this year, I have been thinking about reworking some of the classic appys. In part, that is why I wanted to share this simple 5 minute vegan dark chocolate with edible flowers.
With Chocolate, the Sky is the Limit!
There are so many options for flavor combination.
I just love adding edible organic flowers to my chocolates. I think it adds to the decadence and internal dance of flavor and plant chemistry. It has been so fun to work with molten chocolate. If you have not done this yet, I highly encourage it!

Food Can Be a Powerful Tool for Creating Health
The food we eat has a major impact on our health, but the way we prepare it can also have an effect. Eating a diet high in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats can lead to many health problems, such as obesity and heart disease. But what if I told you that changing just one of these factors could make all the difference? Just by cooking a meal with healthier ingredients, you can improve your health. These recipes are great options for shifting the typical Valentine’s Day sugar infused snacks. Learn more about me here.
