White Chocolate Vanilla Bean Truffles


I've blogged 3 times today.  DID YOU JUST FALL DOWN??  I know, I'm surprised too.  But I couldn't let Valentine's Day go by without sharing these creamy, delightful little bites of white chocolate.  I followed this recipe and added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla paste to the ganache.  The edible hearts can be purchased here.  I wrapped them up and sent them off to school with Jack as gifts for his teachers, otherwise I'd be here sitting on the floor with white chocolate all over my face.  

Happy Valentine's Day!




Healthy V-Day Treats

I've already introduced you to my sister-in-law Jessica's blog, One Hungry Yogi, but now let me introduce you to my sister Georgia's new blog, Inspired Spoons (you've met her before, by the way). Georgia is a junior at Syracuse studying Nutrition and Dietetics.  I had no idea how to spell that word, by the way, but I SWEAR we're related.  She is my youngest sister, and probably a thousand times smarter (and healthier) than me.  Check out her blog, like her on Facebook and follow her on Instagram - her food is truly beautiful and inspiring!  In case you're not convinced, here are some Valentine's Day treats from both Jessica and Georgia... you're welcome. 




I Heart You.

What are you up to on this Valentine's Day?  I am busy wrapping up White Chocolate Vanilla Bean Truffles for Jack's teachers, and that is about as romantical (made up word) as I get, sorry Carson.  But I do enjoy making treats for holidays, so here are a few ideas from me to you...

Also, ideas from years past... here and here.

Stay tuned later on today for some figure-friendly ideas from my sister's blogs, as well as those non-figure-friendly vanilla truffles.  Happy Valentine's Day!
