In honor of St. Valentines Day I am posting this week only tasty dessert recipes.  St. Valentines Day is not only a reminder of love and affection, but affection and love for your tummy.  I know I am a bit late in posting these, and I do apologize to my readers for not preparing you the GF Valentine way, but better late then never.
