National Chocolate Day!

Apparently today is National Chocolate Day, sadly I learned about this on Facebook. I did an official google search and it appears to be legitimate. How exciting, this is a holiday I can embrace!! The true meaning of most holiday's has been lost and they often become stressful!! However, Chocolate should be celebrated. I know I am a dietitian, but we we like treats too, just keep them in moderation. Remember that dark chocolate in small quantities, about an ounce or so, has been shown to have health benefits. Dark chocolate in moderation may help lower your blood pressure and it contains anti-oxidants. So enjoy a little chocolate every so often and maybe today we all have an extra piece!!

Here links to previous posts with some of  my favorite recipes containing chocolate:

  2. Het kan weleens voorkomen dat die leuke poster net niet goed op de juiste plek in de slaapkamer van uw kind kan hangen door te grote of te kleine maten. Bij Folder Expert kunt u posters drukken op vele verschillende maten. U levert de afbeelding die u in posterformaat wilt laten afdrukken en selecteert de maten die het beste op u van toepassing zijn. Zo kunt u helemaal zelf bepalen welke poster u waar in uw huis wilt ophangen.
