finding a new life through food

For this weeks LOCAL BLOG feature, I’m going to be talking about Emily’s blog at emmalinaviolet.wordpress.com. I think one of my favorite parts of this blog is her section about “Weight Loss Progress.” I love reading blog entries by my healthy living bloggers and see weight loss first hand. We all have problems staying on diets and eating correctly, especially when cookies and cupcakes taste so delicious but in this section she lists her accomplishments and sometimes when weight loss didn’t go her way but she didn’t give up- even with all the delicious recipes in her “The Food” section. I heard a quote the other day that was something along the lines of: What happens when you forget to brush your teeth one morning? Do you stop altogether? No, you just do it again the next day. Diets should be like that too.

Recently, she posted a bunch of cute Valentine’s Day themed sweets to make for your sweety. The red velvet brownies are something I probably need to try! If you’re one of those people (like me) who are trying to lose weight but can’t help but have a treat every so often, this may be a blog you need to try out. You could even switch some ingredients for healthy ones. Just know that at the end of the day, everyone deserves a not a pick me up and throw me across the room like a giant chocolate cake but a little pick me up like the various types of scones featured. Which of Emily’s recipes do you intend on making?
