Date Night Recipes
Valentine’s Day always seems to sneak up on us, doesn’t it? November and December are spent thinking about the holidays. January is dedicated to resolutions. By the time February rolls around, Valentine’s seems like an afterthought.
While treating your love to a delicious dinner at a restaurant is totally respectable, creating a delicious spread to be enjoyed in comfy sweats with a big bottle of your favorite wine is an equally lovely way to tell your partner how much you care (and might even win you some bonus points)!
To help inspire your date night in, we put together some of our most swoon-worthy recipes—from easy appetizers to impressive entrées.
1. Start with a cheese board of your dreams.
It’s all about the perfect balance of charcuterie, cheese, olives, antipasti & complements like fruits, nuts, jams, and bruschetta. Read up on how to build your perfect spread or let us do all the work & buy the perfect spread.
2. Stuff some peppers with goat cheese, top with Marcona almonds & look like a culinary genius.
This recipe is delicious as it looks. Trust us. Make this for your date.
3. Make a cheese plate that has some festive flair.
Yeah, it’s a little #basic to have a plate of red and white on Valentine’s Day, but do you really care? The answer: no, you definitely want this. Serve with crusty bread & red wine.
4. One word: risotto.
Nothing says, “I love you,” like a bowl of creamy risotto.
