Get in the spirit of love with some wholesome, gluten-free sweets and treats that will leave you and your loved ones begging for more. I scoured some of my favorite blogs to pull together a list of the most delectable goodies to munch on this Valentine’s Day, and included a few of my own creations from the archives, too.

If you’re local and you’re still hankering for some sweets post V-Day, join me for a fun-filled Gluten-Free Sweets and Treats cooking class at Willy Street Co-op West on Wednesday, February 16. It’s guaranteed to be a night of guiltless sweets and tantalizing treats, all free of refined sugar and flour!
