Dessert Day...or Week

Happy Dessert Day/Week...what I would like to call the week of Valentine's Day.

This is a week when diets should be put to the side and chocolate and chocolate-covered fruits embraced.

Treat yo' self!

Stuff yo' face!

It's for love!
So make a dessert for someone you love and share that warm, sweet feeling that desserts give us. Or just make something tasty for you!

Whether you're going out for Valentine's Day or staying in, a dessert can be the cherry on top of the sundae of your V-day.

Here are my top 5 recommendations for sweets for you and your sweetie (or just you) depending on the mood you're in:

For the gourmet who doesn't want to be in the kitchen for long:
Goat Cheese Custards with Red Wine Syrup
