I'm not ready to face the music even though the fat lady is getting ready to sing...I was in FOURTH PLACE this morning! FOURTH! That won't get me anywhere NEAR Las Vegas! Might get me as far as Tacoma...maybe Yakima...but not Vegas! I've got it figured out though...the men, the three in the lead who are KILLING me...they're polygamists...wait, let me finish...they each have twenty wives, and each wife has ten kids and every day all twenty wives and all TWO HUNDRED kids get on line and vote for their daddy...now seriously, what other explanation could there be?!? I think I'll tell the mister he can get himself a few more wives for the next six days...that's at least SIX more VOTES! (I'll tell him it's an early Valentine's gift from me...that should shut him up!) Here's the link folks...keep me from wearing a collar of shame! http://bit.ly/h0NwSA.

These are my tried and true favorite Valentine's desserts - if you start today you could make them all before Valentine's Day! With less than a week to go before V-Day, I thought you might be needing some ideas. I just couldn't pick ONE, because they are all worthy of the spotlight on Valentine's Day so if you're looking for something special - look no further!
I usually make this for Christmas, it's been one of our favorite Christmas Eve desserts for over a decade! But, it's also the perfect Valentine's dessert...rich and decadent, one bite of this and he'll forget all about Victoria's Secret!
They're pink, light, icy cold and highly addictive! Serve your Valentine a shot or two and he'll be puddy in your hands - if you don't happen to have shot glasses, you can make this into a pie...oh my, it's dang good!
So easy to make! So delicious to eat! Whip up a batch of truffles for your Valentine or for your friends - then they'll know just how much you love them!
Probably my all-time favorite Valentine treat - they are as pretty as can be! Filled with coconut and bits of cherry, they are lip-smackin' good!
This is a 5 minute mousse that tastes like it came from the finest French restaurant ...deep, dense, chocolate-y flavor, one taste will remind you of the movie Chocolat!
I made this insanely good bread just last night...and I can't leave it alone - every time I walk into the kitchen I cut myself a slice...do yourself a favor, make this and serve it to your Valentine for breakfast...start your day right!
Probably the best chocolate pie recipe I've ever made...I make this for the boy, it's my Valentine to him and if I serve it along side a bowl of Mac and Cheese from the blue box and he'll declare me the best cook in the world!
Meringue Hearts With Chocolate And Strawberries
IF you're on a diet on Valentine's Day, then this is the dessert for you...Meringues have hardly any calories, and there's only a dab of chocolate and a piece of fresh strawberry...you could easily scarf up a dozen or so before you'd have to feel guilty! You can also top off the meringues with lemon curd or cherry pie filling - whatever is your heart's desire!
