Valentines Day and Chocolate

One fun thing that goes with Valentines day is chocolate!! I am what some people call a chocoholic I love any thing chocolate. The good thing about chocolate is that it is good for you yes it really is and this is the reason why. Chocolate has antioxidant potential to its protein content, also it has a unique chemistry that when you eat chocolate it does not raise your cholesterol levels. It is also rich in minerals such as magnesium, copper, potassium and iron. So what this means is you do not have to feel bad by eating chocolate because you need it. For example when I am feeling depressed I crave chocolate the high antioxidant level helps me feel better mentally and my body knows it so it crave it. One thing that is good in general about chocolate is that it is gluten free but always you have to check on the package to see if they use wheat flour in their molds. Most use corn starch also make sure they do not put malt flavoring in it some may but very few. So when you get your heart shape box of chocolates you go right a head and enjoy them. The heart shape cake picture I just posted is the valentine I gave to my husband it is a gluten free black forest cake but I did not make it. The women that  made it has what I call the magic that I do not have but it is amazing you can not tell that it is gluten free. Now it is my family's new favorite cake.So have a happy valentines day!! And enjoy your chocolate!!
