HEALTHY VALENTINE TREATS
Most of us remember when Valentine treats consisted of candy hearts, heart shaped lollipops, chocolate and cakes or cupcakes with pink frosting. Thankfully chocolate is not a no-no and we’ve come a long way in our understanding of what is and is not healthy. While our first recommendation is something from Laura’s Confections we understand doesn’t work for everybody so hopefully something that follows will. Enjoy!
MARKET CHITCHAT
Well, the bad news is that this is our second week with Avalon and Mayim in absentee. It’s also our good news as they should both be back listing product on the Market a week from today.
That being said, THANK YOU to our Daleville & Enterprise Customers for your patience with a different delivery person! We really enjoyed meeting you and hope to see you again next week.
Have you noticed the GET GREEN ALABAMA announcements that are starting to show up in the Facebook Feeds? This is not something you want to ignore because our friend Tenita Strand is partnering with Market at Dothan on April 18 for one of our Spring Farmer’s Market days! Tenita networks with other types of natural health/sustainable businesses and knows how to really make an event special. Last year’s Get Green Alabama was a blast so put it on your calendar!

LAURA’s CONFECTIONS: To all my wonderful, special followers and customers, it is my dearest wish that this year will be the best ever for us all. And to that end, you might put a tiny bug in your special someone’s ear that I am offering a variety of chocolate-covered strawberries to savor and delight. I’m not crazy about using semi-sweet chocolate preferring instead to immerse them in 60% Ghirardelli chocolate. The strawberries will add just enough sweetness. Some are covered in pulverized walnuts, chopped coconut, and some drizzled with white chocolate although I’m still working on perfecting my drizzling technique. I’ve also ordered three 4" quick release, heart-shaped pans for cheesecake that I can really have some fun decorating. Unfortunately, I believe they are being shipped on a slow boat from the planet Zircon. If they arrive in time for Valentine’s Day, you’ll be the first to know.
