Calling All Chocolate Lovers {Recipe Round Up}

Screen Shot 2015-02-03 at 11.50.12 PM

For anyone who knows me well, knows I love chocolate. I have a small piece of dark chocolate every. single. day. The second I am done with dinner, no matter what dinner was, I always crave something a little sweet! What helps me keep my portion control in check is to savor the little piece. It helps me slow down and truly enjoy it.
With Valentine’s Day coming up I was thinking what I would make this year for me and the bf. With these 14 chocolate-y recipes I rounded up from some of my favorite bloggers, now I can’t decide! Which one are you going to make?

An Apple a Day {Recipe Round-up}

I know most people (including myself) are all about pumpkin this time of year, but how bout them apples? Amongst the assortment of different varieties of apples, honeycrisp apples are the ones I get the most excited about each year during apple season!
An apple a day keeps the doctor away! Apples are loaded with vitamin C and fiber, can help satisfy hunger, promotes a healthy heart, and provide a source of antioxidants.
