As soon as February strolls around all I can think about is what I’m getting my honey for Valentines Day. I know there are other things more pressing… (the list is long) but the one challenge that gets a lot of my attention is how and what kind of tasty treat will I give my sweetheart for Valentines Day? Last night I strolled into the study to do a little research online. I came up with some great results…keeping my New Years resolution in mind…”more organics for my everyday life”. I came across Green and Black‘s Organics. We love this brand of chocolate. I picked it up at our local market before a round of golf one Saturday last Summer (it said organic so I thought it was worth a try), it was delicious. We have been fans ever since. As my online research on G&B Organics continues…to my surprise they have organic ice cream as well. My honey loves ice cream. Who doesn’t???? Its cold presence is followed by its creamy interior and if done well has a sumptuous flavor to rival any treat. If you don’t like ice cream write and share with me your favorite sweet delight…try to keep it organic, so I can stay true to my resolution. How would I incorporate this great organic company’s sweets for my Valentine??It’s Sunday February 14th Happy Valentine’s Day 2010. It’s time to execute my month long (actually 13days of planning) search for the perfect organic Valentine treat. Breakfast starts off with home made Belgium waffles topped with some frozen rasberries (we pick and froze from our raspberry patch last July). We freeze them, because the market only sells conventional rasberries during the Winter. Freezing allows us rasberries during the off season. The berries defrost as soon as they hit the hot rich syrup from Two Pigs Farm. Another delightful company we enjoy. They only offer their syrup once a year. Don’t miss it. As I unveiled my Valentines treat…his eyes and mouth wide open…The little sweets arrived all 30 of them…I made the Green & Black's Dark Milk Chocolate Ice Cream Bonbon recipe. They were adorable all nestled in the pink and silver heart shaped paper carton. They were nicely chilled from a night in the freezer. The recipe says it makes 32…mine made 33. Yes, I sampled one last night. I had to make sure they were worthy for my Valentine. Perfecto! So for the rest of the day we snuggled on the sofa with our Strollie Stand blankets and two pots of our home made soy milk hot chocolates. The day together was forever. A day on the couch snuggled up with our Strollie, our home made organic treats and a pile of funny movies. Happy Valentines Day.
The next time you stroll by your market’s freezer section, look for a delicious organic ice cream, it’s always in season.
