In some of my previous posts on this blog and my personal recipe blog I’ve talked a lot lately about healthy eating and exercise. What I haven’t mentioned as explicitly is that part of the reason I like to eat  healthy and exercise is so that I can afford myself the occasional indulgence.

When I eat dessert, I want to really eat dessert. I’m not interested in low-fat cookies or sugar-free ice cream. When I indugle, I like to go for one-of-a-kind sweets..

On Thursday, February 11th from 6-9pm, head over to the Southport Grocery Store to get in the spirit for Valentine’s Day: sip champagne, sample seasonal confections like smores and truffles and chat chocolate with Truffle Truffle maker, Nicole.

You can pick some up for your significant other but if you’re anything like me - they might not make it until Sunday.
