Valentine's Food Temptations

Valentine’s temptations are lurking. They lurk in those beautiful red heart-shaped boxes of chocolates — in those platters of cookies with their delightful pink and red sprinkles — in layers of whipped cream in the raspberry trifle — in those luscious chocolate cakes — and in those chocolate-covered strawberries. Though strawberries covered in dark chocolate may be one of the healthiest of the choices.

The secret of success to avoiding weight gain from Valentine’s temptations is, of course, moderation.

And remember that Valentine’s temptations do not vanish on the morning of 15 February. That is the day those beautiful boxes of chocolates and many other Valentine’s goodies go on sale for half price.
