I have always loved Valentine’s Day, long before I celebrated it with a significant other. You see, my birthday is on the 19th, and that meant that growing up, around the time of my birthday, all of the Valentine’s candy and treats would go on sale in the store, and I got to go a little crazy!
Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately) ignorance was bliss, and I’m no longer tempted by those overly processed confections full of unpronounceable ingredients, now that I know how terrible they are for me. Still, if you’ve read any of my blogs in the past or know me personally, you’ll know that I certainly do love me some chocolate!!! And what’s more, I’m super-lazy when it comes to preparing baked goods at home, so that’s not really a great option for me most of the time.
Some of my easy go-to's include my Red Velvet Valentine Smoothie or one of my Guilt-Free
No-Bake Desserts. For anything more complicated than that, I am not ashamed to buy store-bought desserts, as long as they are made with ingredients I approve of. This week I’ve decided to give a little shoutout to some of the brands that I love. All of these chocolate-centric treats are free of soy, dairy, and gluten.
I find all of these in my local Chester County stores: Wegmans and Kimberton Whole Foods, both the Downingtown and Malvern locations. (I would guess that other locations carry these, too, but I haven't checked!)
Amy’s Chocolate Cake (freezer section)
Wholly Gluten Free Fudge Brownies (freezer section)
Taza Coco Besos 70% Dark Stone-Ground Chocolate Chocolate with Coconut
Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips - perfect sprinkled over gluten-free waffles or pancakes!
Still figuring out your Valentine’s Day plans for this year? Enjoy a freshly prepared, organic meal delivered right to your home, and save yourself the hassle of making restaurant reservations. Order a meal for you and your valentine by Wednesday, February 8th for delivery on February 13th, and we’ll throw in a decadent chocolate mousse on us!
