Happy Sweet & Savory Saturdays, friendly faces! ?
Before we get to the food, can we just take a moment to savour the fact that it’s the weekend? I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve had a rough couple of days, and I’m more than ready for a little bit of R&R. And some good food!
In case you missed the last couple of weekends around these parts, Arman and I started up a new weekly series that’s all about FOOD. Each week we pick a certain theme or ingredient to focus on (announced the week before), and then one of us makes a new recipe based on that theme while the other hosts a roundup and linkup where you can contribute relevant recipes of your own.
Here are the top 3 most clicked recipes from last week’s sweet ‘n’ salty snack theme:
Cheesy Cauliflower Pizza Poppers via My Uncommon Everyday.
Cacao Protein Bars via The January Glow.
Salted Caramel Bars via Goodness Me.
Woohoo! And for those looking to take part next week, the theme will be: PANCAKES ?
So we’re about one week out from Valentine’s Day, and no matter what your opinion is on the Hallmark holiday, you can’t deny that you love all the chocolate and sweet foods that come with it. I mean… just look at these healthy chocolate indulgences!!

This is an awesome chocolate round up! I need to try those two minute brownies! Brownies are my favorite!
HOLY CHOCOLATE HEAVEN.
I had to write a post similar to this today too; chocolate is ALWAYS necessary. And anything with peanut butter.
But your flourless double chocolate brownies look heavenly…. I’m restraining going to make them right now. But maybe I can this weekend so my family will help me eat them! 🙂
I am kicking myself for forgetting to participate in the link up on Saturday! I will definitely show up next week for the pancakes…MMM. 🙂
Thanks for sharing my quinoa cake! I wish my picture was better, lol!
I’m obsessed – I love all this chocolate so yummy!! Going to check out your two minute brownies because I’m always looking for something sweet at 9pm and don’t want to fire up the oven!
Officially drooling…. can you move in with me so I can be your recipe tester? Please and thank you.
My chocolate tooth is out of control these days – I want to make everythannnng! Good thing I’m teaching a few classes on chocolate this month and there are always plenty of leftovers for me. 😀
I just ate my phone! Holy cow these look AH-MAZING girly! Thanks for the link love and all the yummy treat ideas!

A high in fiber vegan hot chocolate smoothie?!?! Amazing!
Sorry to hear you have had a rough few days! I hope you are getting the much needed rest you deserve, Amanda! 🙂
I hate those fake cinnamon flavored things…and especially jelly beans that are pretending to be cherry or something good! And btw, this is one of the most mouth watering posts I’ve seen….EVER!
yum those avocado brownies sound so good! I dont like those cinnamon hearts very much…i love cinnamon though I dont know why!
Those fudgy avocado brownies and the sea salt chocolate covered almonds looks amazing, and I seriously should not be reading food blogs while I’m on hour 13 of a 15 hour fast…..salivating. Also, I’m thirsty as hell. I’m not even allowed water.
Your flourless chocolate brownies are amazing. The Hubby and I both love those bad boys and make them every change we get. 🙂
Remind me I gotta get my son’s valentines candy this week! I will forget lol. I used to like those cinnamon hearts I forgot about them!
This was not the place to come before breakfast my dear!
This roundup is totally making me DROOL! So much chocolate goodness. And just in time for Valentine’s Day!!!

Let’s take a moment of silence to think about how blessed we are to have chocolate in our lives….
Seriously this is link up is the best! And those cinnamon hearts- I do like them! But I’m a lover of the heat!
While I don’t care about Valentine’s Day at all I am all the more interested in chocolate. There could never be too much of that and you picked some very intriguing recipes.
Oh and yes, I”d be your Valentine if that meant spending a day baking, going on a hike and watching Disney movies 😉 .
(Sorry about that unfinished previous comment that got posted too early. Finicky phone …)
Oh my gosh! I need to wipe the drool off my phone! Pinning!
While I don
Love the chocolate overload! Those stuffed pancakes look kind of crazy!
