6 Homemade strawberry desserts for Valentine's Day

Before you rush out and buy a heart-shaped box of chalky-tasting chocolates or some mega-overpriced chocolate-covered strawberries, check out these recipes for my favorite strawberry desserts.  Your wallet and your Valentine (that includes yourself!) will appreciate the thought and the effort, not to mention the delicious dessert itself.  All of them are easy and come together in minutes, so you can get out of the kitchen and make the most of the day/evening.  Cheers, lovers! :)
