Chocolate and Chambord Anyone?

Happy Valentine’s Day!  

Whether you are celebrating today with your significant other, best friends, or feel like you just want some alone time-  these simple, yet delicious recipes are a must!

I know with everyone’s busy schedule it can be hard to find the time to be in the kitchen, especially after a long day at work. After all, who wants to be in the kitchen (unless you are planning on cooking together, which is always fun) on Valentine’s Day? That’s why I am giving you two very easy and quick recipes to try. The festive duo pairs perfectly together, a refreshing Chambord infused cocktail and some heart-healthy Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

Whip up these simple and elegant recipes and impress whomever you will be spending the night with.  And HEY - there is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying some sweet indulgences solo and watching a good non- romcom on Valentine’s Day either!  ;)
