I always remember loving valentines day as a kid. I mean what child doesn’t love getting cards and candy. Especially when the end of the day was designated for a party. Now that I’m an adult, we don’t really celebrate it as a couple since my birthday is only about five days away. This year, since the kids are older I thought it would be fun to make some deserts with them for the holiday. Below are a couple of ones that I would love to try.

Do you have any things that you love to bake on or around Valentines day?

I recently did a yummy pinterest holiday desert post. Well since most of the things on that list I can’t usually eat I decided to also do a post with Healthy foods. Most, if not all, of these recipes come from Skinny Taste. Seriously this blog is awesome! Also a lot of the newer recipes also have sodium count so that’s a bonus!

Will you try any of these?

With Christmas a week away, I need to get a move on with the yummy food. There are a couple of these that we will be trying on Wednesday since it’s my cheat day. We’ve already made the faux thin mints and they are PERFECT! I can’t wait to try more items from this list!

I’m sure  if you’ve ever been on pinterest you have left hungry. I actually can’t look at the food and drink section if I’m hungry. It makes it a million times worse. Anyway, here are a couple of my favorite recipes this week! I can’t wait to try them!

I don’t know about you but I want to cheat on my diet with food right now. But I’ll have to refrain.

Do you use Pinterest? Have you found any awesome recipes?

So I found this recipe on Pinterest(This is my new favorite website!) and wanted to try it. Ever since my first Chipotle run, I have been addicted to black beans. They are delicious and good for you. So here is the recipe.

Ingredients-
About a cup of Tomato
About half a cup of Red Bell Pepper
One Can of Black Beans
One Can Corn
Two Medium to Large Avocado

I encourage you, if you can to use dried beans and fresh corn. It always healthier for you! All you do is chop everything up and mix it together. It’s so simple and this is your final result!

I could eat this forever! It tastes so good. For this recipe, even though it can do without, I like to add some Light Balsamic Vinaigrette. The second time I made it I added Cilantro and Lime juice and it was perfect with out the Vinaigrette. Another Bonus is that the kids adored the recipe and its pretty healthy! It’s awesome for a snack or two cups for a meal! It made about 4 cups for me, so it’s about a cup a person.

Would you try this recipe? What modifications would you make?
