How to lose weight by eating chocolate!

Oh my, if only this were true. I found an article while surfing the net.. I thought my eyes had deceived me. Lose weight by eating chocolate on GQ. I can personally say that at some point I have eating a lot of chocolate since it was always around.... no weight loss by high consumption. Nope none at all. Healthy diets folk!

Back to blogging

Its no big secret that I have been on hiatus from chocolate. I have been busy since I stopped making it - thesis writing, moving to a new city, more thesis writing, figures and data analysis. I also hurt my back while moving boxes in a way that prevented me from being able to sit or stand for long periods of time and now I have chronic back pain. Now try sitting for extended periods of time to write :( Note to all you out there: DO NOT LIFE HEAVY BOXES ABOVE YOUR HEAD. I am currently on a leave of absence from the thesis and have decided I have to put my time recovering to good use. Since I cannot sit for longer than 15 minutes at a time without hurting my back these will be short and sweet posts. I also cant stand for too long otherwise its the same thing - so no chocolate making happens either.

I apologize to anyone who got all excited thinking I was back in chocolate making. I know my turtles were like addictive and the health-nut bark was a guilty treat. The good thing is I will be teaching the art of making chocolates and confection. Step-by-step instructions that will have your mouth watering in no time. DISCLAIMER: I am in no way responsible for the 5 lbs you might gain by making anything on this blog.

Christmas Orders

We have been busy at work for a while. Had a fantastic time selling at craft fairs across Atlantic Canada. We know we have created some Chocoholics along the way! So we thought we would give you the chance to get in those last minute orders for the Holidays. How else can you replace the turtles you bought for your Dad but they somehow accidentally found themselves eaten. It's okay we got your back!
