Valentine' Day can be sweeter and healthier with dark chocolate
Valentine's Day is February 14 and people everywhere will be purchasing sweets for their sweethearts. On this date, more chocolate is sold than at any other time during the year. It all began in 1861 when Richard Cadbury, son of Cadbury Company founder John Cadbury first introduced heart-shaped boxes of candy for Valentine's Day. Over the years this has evolved into big business and in recent years more dark chocolate is being been sold. If you have decided to purchase candy for someone special, the best way to show you care is to make dark chocolate your choice. This type of chocolate offers more health benefits than does plain milk chocolate, which has more nutrients and less sugar.

how to lose guilt
Ever since I was a kid I struggled with looks and fitness. I always had a sweet tooth and tended to eat my feelings like a lot of sensitive females do. More often than not, I would feel so much guilt over what I ate that it would start to take away from all the wonderful aspects of life around me like interactions with family, friends or classmates and even entertainment or outdoor activities. Whenever I would sit to have a snack or meal I would prepare myself for the guilt and make attempts to soothe it by thinking it wasn't much of a shame to be a somewhat plus sized person and that my aesthetic preferences were a bit unrealistic anyways.

Cherries Are For More Than Just Pies...
Who doesn't love cherries? They're sweet, tart, and juicy all in one bite. I love to cook my proteins with them. I like to experiment with cherries in my pastries, muffins, and cookies. Traditionally, cherries are accustomed to filling the responsibility of being pie filling. However, there are huge health benefits to consuming one of the most health-protective foods.

Eating Meat Again and the shame that came with it
I ate meat for all my years until I was twenty eight. I had fasted for the religious Hindu festival, Divali for the first time, and just decided to keep it going even after the deeyas were packed away. I didn't miss the meat. I was deep into my yoga practice, and the value of non-violence was important to me. That meant no killed animals. There were plenty of nutritious plants that could feed me, and I still believe this.

Drop the BEET!
Let me be honest—I've eaten beets ONE time in my food journey—eleven years ago! A friend of mine invited me to Sunday dinner after church. As his mother serves me my plate, the beets accompanied other Southern comfort foods. The rich hue stains the bright yellow color of the baked macaroni and cheese.

Give Your Salad NEW Character!
Since my teenage years, I was fascinated with salads. Whether it was salads via fast-food chain restaurants or sit down establishments, I loved the combinations of fresh leafy greens, bright carrots, and accompanied proteins and miscellaneous vegetables.

Life Fuel
I am just really not a fan of breakfast. I like breakfast foods, waffles are great, love the bacon, cereal is fun too, but I hate getting up and eating first thing in the morning. It's weird. If I was at a camp program, or I was out of town with friends, and we had a specific time and place where breakfast was happening, I would happily eat it. But every day? Really? Not my thing.
