Valentine's Day Recipe Round-Up GF SCD

Did you know that a kiss on Valentine's Day is said to bring good luck for the whole year and I was fascinated to read that the flowers given on Valentine's Day all have different meanings. Red roses mean love, yellow roses mean friendship, and pink roses mean friendship or sweetheart. Red carnations mean admiration, white carnations mean pure love, red chrysanthemums mean love, and primrose means young love. 

This year I decided to share some awesome recipes designed by some wonderfully creative ladies. I know that some of you will want to make at least one of these recipes and they're much too good to be hidden from the world in the depths of the internet! And I thought I'd share my Chocolate Hazelnut Milk recipe, pictured above, because it would definitely make a lovely treat for Valentine's Day. 

These gorgeous Raw Carrot Cake Cookies from Amber of The Tasty Alternative are sugar, dairy and grain free! They're also suitable for the SCD! I just love the way they're so attractively presented and the fact that I can enjoy my favourite vegetable (carrots - what else!) in a sweet treat!

"I Love You Cookies"! What an adorable name for these very pretty and extremely eye catching gluten-free heart shaped cookies created by Ella of Lifeologia. As Ella says "here is to munching on lovely pink sugar covered hearts!".

Jen of My BIG FAT Grain Free Life has shared the most delicious SCD legal Luscious Lemon Torte recipe with an ingredient you just wouldn't expect to be featuring in such an amazing looking dessert. It certainly lives up to its name! Oh and if you're wondering why there is a slight yet cute indent in the icing, you will have to read the post!

Finally, I'm sharing these stunning Vegan Dark Chocolate Strawberry Cream Truffles fantastically created by Cara of Fork and Beans. I gasped when I first set eyes on them, they look so tempting and because they're made with healthy, natural ingredients I just wouldn't feel guilty eating all of them!
