Let’s talk food, shall we? The big day is 8 days a way people – THIS IS A CODE RED!!!!!! Get it…..code red….valentines…..hehehehe.
Seriously though, the planning can’t stop with pretty decorations, nice nails or a super cute outfit. We need to think about dinner, or lunch, or breakfast in bed, or all three for that matter.
I don’t know about you guys but I am doing my best to try to get healthy, lose some pounds, and change the way I eat. That doesn’t mean that you either fall off the wagon on Valentines Day or have a boring meal. Healthy meals can be filling and fun. Don’t believe me? Let me prove you wrong.
Breakfast:

This seared steak with eggplant saute is only 500 calories.
And of course, a romantic dessert: Strawberry Banana Creams

The best part of these low-cal creamy strawberry poppers is that one serving of eight stuffed strawberries contains only 150 calories.
All these ideas gives you an approximate daily calorie intake of 1,275; not too bad if I do say so myself.
So did I make a believer out of you?

All of these look really good!!! I have been experimenting a lot with strawberries lately (haven’t posted yet) , but they don’t look as good as I thought they would like in the pictures from a book! & mine are not low in fat! yours look delicious and low in fat too! I’ve been trying to loose the weight I gained during Christmas; no luck here! ha!ha! thanks for sharing!

Great ideas for the big day! We don’t celebrate Valentine’s day, mostly because my fiancé refuses…he will do something special another time. In the meantime, I may have to whip up some of that dessert….yummy!

Great idea. You definately need to keep us posted on any yummy desert you whip up.
And as long as he does something special for you, that’s all that matters.
