Valentines Day

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! If you are like me you are probably already planning what goodies you're going to bring to your kids' school. Sure you can buy a package of heart cookies with pink frosting from your local bakery, or bake some cupcakes with sprinkles, of course they may taste yummy but it's not exactly sending the right message to our children. This year I challenge you to make healthy treats for every school party. After all this is our children we are talking about, they deserve nothing but the best. This year I’m making these fruit kabobs for my Son’s class. Healthy doesn’t have to be boring! Plus I get to eat snack on some yummy melon while prepping, instead of cookie dough or cake mix YUCK!


While I’m at it, let’s discuss those adorably scrumptious boxes of candy! If you are like me…which I’m sure most women are; you LOVE chocolate! And what better to eat it from a fancy heart shaped box, the only problem is I can’t just eat one, before I know it the whole box is demolished in a day, which depending on the type of candy could be WAY over my allotted calories for the day. Ditch the box of chocolate this year and go for something like these non-fat Greek yogurt covered strawberries….pop them in the freezer and enjoy! Heck if you’re looking for a little extra crunch roll them in granola before you freeze!
