Entrees
Valentine's Day is the perfect occasion to cook a special dinner for your romantic partner. If you want to make your evening extra special, try a savory entree like a grilled lobster tail with roasted garlic butter. To make this dish, start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil and the lobster tails and cook them until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Meanwhile, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and dried herbs in a small bowl and mix it together. Once the lobster tails are cooked, spoon the garlic butter over the top and enjoy. This dish is sure to impress your date and make the night extra special.
If you’re not a fan of seafood, try a creamy mushroom pasta for your Valentine’s Day dinner. Start by sautéing some mushrooms and garlic in a large skillet with a bit of butter. Once the mushrooms are cooked, add some heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of nutmeg. Pour the cooked pasta into the skillet and stir everything together until it’s well-combined. Serve your creamy mushroom pasta with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and some additional Parmesan cheese for garnish. It's sure to be a hit with your dinner partner.
Desserts
What’s a Valentine’s Day dinner without a sweet dessert? If you want to end your night on a sweet note, try a decadent chocolate lava cake. To make this dish, start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a cake pan with butter and set it aside. In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder until it forms a thick paste. Add one egg and mix it together. Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for about 15 minutes. The cake should be slightly undercooked in the center. Once it’s out of the oven, top it with a scoop of your favorite ice cream and enjoy!
If you’re not a fan of chocolate, try a classic strawberry shortcake. To make this dish, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8-inch cake pan with butter and set it aside. In a medium bowl, mix together cake mix, softened butter, eggs, and a bit of almond extract until it forms a thick batter. Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for about 25 minutes. Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing it into individual pieces. Top the cake pieces with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a classic Valentine’s Day dessert. Enjoy!
