Fresh, fast dinners!

Valentine’s Day

Whether it’s for your partner, kids, best gal pals, or all of the above, there’s no better way to say “I love you” than a sweet treat or delicious, decadent dinner. These are our tried-and-true favorites for celebrating with the ones you love!

My ultimate Valentine’s Day dinner menu? With young kids, something delicious yet fun and kid-friendly will get the nod in our house: chicken or shrimp marinara, homemade garlic breadsticks, and pesto green beans or a light salad, with red velvet cupcakes or a fun cookie cake for dessert to share.

Cooking a romantic dinner just for two? Lemon pepper shrimp pappardelle or chicken in white wine sauce, plus roasted garlic green beans and a pretty salad with shaved Brussels sprouts and pomegranate arils is sure to impress.
