Happy Valentine's Day! I hope everyone had a great time celebrating with their loved ones and that, most importantly, you ate LOTS of chocolate. I know I did! Valentine's Day will always be special to me because the love of my life asked me to be his Valentine for the first time 4 years ago to the date, but also because it was my lovely late Grandmother's birthday. To honor her, this edition of Social Sunday recipes is dedicated to her, and I will share with you one of my favorite desserts of hers.
