For those who knew me pre-kids - and definitely pre-blogging - this is not news. For the rest of you, this might come as a surprise given, well, given all of these posts: Strega-Spiked Saffron Truffles , Brandy-Earl Grey Chocolate Cake , Sinfully Delicious Chocolate Pudding , and Spiced Chocolate Risotto . Plus I've hosted Chocolate + Brandy Pairings on the beach for friends; I've made Homemade Snickers for my friend's birthday. And I even did an entire chocolate-infused picnic for friends between their Willy Wonka performances. For that lunch, I served Roasted Parsnips and White Chocolate Soup , Chocolate Crostini, Roasted Chicken with a Chocolate-Balsamic Vinegar Glaze , and some assorted boutique chocolate bars for a sweet ending. But, here's my 'secret'. Before I got pregnant with Riley, I didn't eat chocolate . I didn't like the taste. I didn't like the smell. I just plain didn't like it. What a difference twelve yea...
