Chocolate Covered Strawberries

You don’t have to shell out the big bucks at Godiva® to make it a romantic evening with your sweetie.  All you need is a microwave (or a double boiler), some dark chocolate (70% to 85% cacao solids), some strawberries, and some love. And if there’s a better way to show your love than with these two great sources of antioxidants, I’d like to hear it. In fact, if you’re single, this is a much better way to love yourself than with that pint of Ben and Jerry’s®

• 1 dark chocolate bar (3 oz.), 70% to 85% cacao solids(Not Cheap but worth it)
• 1 pint large strawberries (about a dozen)

Microwave chocolate in microwave-safe bowl, or melt in double boiler on stove.  Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip in melted chocolate to lightly coat. Set aside on plate or wax paper to cool.  When chocolate has hardened, serve (or if you can’t wait, dip and eat, and call it chocolate fondue!).  Serves 2.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

It’s weird because I don’t feel guilty when I know that I’m getting a good amount of protein and fiber out of chocolate covered strawberries.   Don’t eat these

I have been getting a lot of feedback from my P90X healthy meals page so I am trying to update it more often.  I have a really good idea that will taste great and also reminds me of my wonderful mother.  In the summer my parents always have a garden and produce awesome green peppers.  So being that my mom has always been creative with any food put in her hands she created a tasteful stuffed pepper.  Now mom will not be preparing it like the recipe below because the one below is P90 approved.  I just wanted to give her a little props for the idea since I would always go to town on like two of these in one sitting.  If your going to make your own rice then use a good rice cooker because the consistency is so much better.  My wife uses this one so I highly recommend because you can also steam vegetables in it.  If your looking to get the six pack you have always dreamed of then eat foods like this and do lots of Ab Ripper X. 

This recipe is always a crowd-pleaser especially when
