Vegan Valentines and Birthday Treats

Hi Everyone! Happy Sunday!
I hope you all had a great day? Today was errand running day. I usually like to have Sunday’s to relax and do some fun activities, but yesterday was jam packed and we had no time for groceries and Costco.
Yesterday my mom and I had a Mix & Mingle party which was a lot of fun! We had a bunch of friends and family come out and have some treats and coffee and we spoke a bit about the products we are now selling. The weather was perfect and the company was great! All in all, a fab day 
Today at Costco, I found Organic dried Figs……..ooooooohhhhh, how I love dried figs! These are so dangerous to have in the fridge as I could eat half the bag and consume my calories for the day! Since writing this post I have already had 5….
Tomorrow is my birthday and I figured I should make some treats for me to enjoy on my day! I can have a little birthday break in the day and enjoy some chocolate covered goodness. These would also be wonderful for Valentines day which is just around the corner 
Chocolate Covered Nature Treats:
1 cup vegan chocolate (melted)
3 dried figs
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup pecans
Melt chocolate in microwave or use a double broiler
Cut figs in half
Add figs to the melted chocolate and coat. Remove figs from chocolate and place on a plate lined with parchment paper.
Do the same for the raisins and pecans
Place plate in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
YUMMMMM – Healthy Chocolate Goodness!
These are perfect little treats to aid me through the birthday tomorrow 29 my friends…..I am pulling off “24″ for another few years, you are the only ones that know this I will be enjoying a wonderful Indian feast with my family tomorrow night at our favourite Indian Restaurant. They owner there knows us quite well and “veganize’s” my dishes for me I love restaurants that do that. It is so important for me that places accomodate to allergies and requests! Dairy and Butter free Chana Masala here I come!!
Dinner tonight was not Indian, it was Mexican. I made these Wheat-Free wraps, with Guacomole, pan fried veg and black beans. Delicious!
Time to Relax now after a busy weekend!
I am just pulling some homemade crackers out of the oven, making some tea, and going to watch some Couples Retreat.
Enjoy your evening everyone!
Do you love birthdays? Do you have a special tradition on your birthday?
XXOO

Those look SO good!
I hope you have a great birthday tomorrow! You don’t look 29 – I’m still trying to decide if maybe I read that wrong.
I’m not big on birthdays anymore. I feel like the older I get the sadder it is that I haven’t achieved anything. I do enjoy the part where I get spoiled though.

Well happy birthday to you (and what better way to celebrate than Indian food and chocolate covered dried fruit, really?
)! I love birthdays because of all the mail that comes! You can’t beat a card or letter in snail mail!

I really want to try dried figs…or even fresh figs! They look sooo good.
I wanted to let you know of a giveaway I am having on my site for Glass Dharma straws. They are beautiful glass straws that are so fun in green smoothies, juices, or even just lemon water. Perhaps your readers would be interested?
Here is the link to the giveaway: http://justaudreyblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/glass-dharma-straws-giveaway.html
Thanks! : )
