Cupid’s 8th Continent 12 Days of Valentines- Day 2

You want to make your Valentine’s Day romantic, I know. And a lot of people are thinking the same thing and wondering- how do I do that in a crowded restaurant? Or at a pub? Or any of the other typical romantic venues that will be stuffed full of the things that remind you that this may just be a Hallmark Holiday? My suggestion? Don’t go out! Stay in! Make some chocolate raspberry parfaits and cuddle up on a couch and pop in a movie!

Trying to think of the best romantic movie? Well, let me help you out with that!

Here is a list of some newbies and some classics, and all of them are going to give you that feeling of wanting to hold your loved one closer and snuggle.

When Harry Met Sally

Love Actually

Fever Pitch

Shakespeare in Love

50 First Dates

There’s Something About Mary

Princess Bride

Hitch

And what kind of a Valentine’s Day advocate would I be if I neglected to mention the following movies?

  • Titanic
  • The Notebook
  • City of Angels
  • An Affair to Remember
  • Chocolat
  • Romeo and Juliet
  • My Fair Lady

Cupid’s 8th Continent 12 Days of Valentines- Day 5

So we have figured out by now that either you or your loved one drinks 8th Continent Soymilk. First let me say, good call!

Secondly I want you to ask yourself- why? Is it because it tastes SO awesome? Or because of lactose intolerance? Or maybe you are a vegan or have dairy allergies or want to keep a gluten-free diet! Sometimes it is difficult to prepare a meal or sometimes even harder- a dessert- when keeping all of these things in mind.

But don’t you worry! For Valentine’s Day my friend Annette Ooyevaar over at Veg Web hooked us up with an awesome and simple recipe that is vegan and delicious!

Ingredients:

1 box 12 oz. Mori Nu Soft Silken Tofu, do not use low fat, do not drain
1 12 oz. bag vegan chocolate chips, melted on low heat and cooled
1-2 Tblsp. Vanilla – you can use whatever flavor you like
1 cup 8th Continent  Soymilk

Directions:

Put the tofu in a blender and process until very smooth.  Add the melted, cooled chocolate and process until well combined, you will have to stop and scrape the sides of the blender.  Add the 8th Continent Soymilk and vanilla and process until well blended. Pour into a covered container and chill until ready to use.

Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to manufacturer directions.  This makes a lot of tofu ice cream mix so you may only be able to freeze part of it.  I use my Donvier, which is really easy, I have ice cream in 15 minutes without ice, salt or a lot of cranking.  My family loves this recipe and it can even be made with melted high quality white chocolate.  Enjoy!

Serves: 8

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Oh my goodness! Only eight days left!?!

What are you to do? Well, I have offered you crafts, recipes, playalists, and you still don’t know what to do?!? Shame on you.

What is the best way to solve this problem? Buy something from someone else who does make things with their hands. This sounds like a job from my friends at Etsy!

I have gathered the cutest most nauseatingly adorable pieces of art, jewelry and clothing from some of my favorite Etsy artists. Since these are all handmade unique things, you may want to act fast, quite often there is only one of each item made.
