Try this antidote to typical Valentine's Day sweets: walnut cake with carob frosting. Walnuts have long been considered brain food, not only for their brain-shaped shells, but also for their high concentration of omega-3 fats, which help brain cells function properly. Their earthy flavor and crunch adds to the appeal of this cake made with whole grain pastry flour and sweet maple syrup. Carob is a long-time chocolate substitute without the buzz, only a grounded centered feeling. Check out this recipe from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
