FEBRUARY, 2013

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and we're here just in time with some better-for-you desserts. Our made-over goodies are just as delicious and decadent as their fat-filled counterparts, but each one is made with a handful of nutritious ingredients. (Hint: beans, walnuts, berries, whole wheat flour, omega-3 eggs.) Read on for our recipe faves, some favorite finds at the supermarket, and the latest from our blog and podcast.
