Guess what is right around the corner my sweets?? Yup, V-day. Love it or hate it Valentines Day is the best excuse in the world to eat some chocolate, and really what is better than that?

I promise you there is room for chocolate and dessert in a healthy “Nutritious America” diet., as long as you keep a few rules in mind… dessert is a once in awhile food, not an every day food. AND most importantly, if you are going to make a dessert why not make it the healthiest you can. I consider myself a nutrient collector, in every single recipe I create I work really hard to add as many high quality nutrients as I possibly can. These cupcakes are no exception. Oh, and I should mention they are not only vegan, and gluten free, but they are potentially the most delicious cupcakes you have ever had in your entire life. Seriously. So whip up a batch of these for your love, and be sure to save a few for yourself.

Watch the video to see my Lucille Ball moment, I am sure Rachel Ray spilled batter all over herself at one time or another too. (They probably were kind enough to edit hers out though)

I will be bringing you V-day recipes for the next few weeks… I have been neglecting the sweet side of life and right now I want to embrace it!
