Sound Advice

I once asked one of my favorite alternative health gurus about her low-sugar lifestyle. "Sugar is a great way to celebrate," she said. "When I am at a wedding I have a piece of cake. I take my son out for ice-cream on his birthday. It is part of what makes the celebration special for me."

I tend to want to have my own little "celebration" every time I finish a sandwich. I tend to want to "celebrate" around 4:00 every afternoon. I love the thought of using fabulous treats to celebrate life ... not sandwiches.

Not to tempt anyone, but I just found out about an amazing, locally made, Ecuadorian chocolate bar. I think this Valentine's is going to see some serious South American celebrating - and I am determined not to "celebrate" till then.

    Can I just say I am counting down the days until Valentine's Day. Today I watched my two year old eat a chewy gooey choc. chip cookie. I was ready to lick chocolate smears off her face. I resisted, but come Valentine's Day...bring on the CHOCOLATE!
