It's a Hallmark Holiday; I get that. But celebrating love is never a bad thing (especially if you remove any expectations of reciprocity). If you don't yet have plans, and have been paying attention to this blog at all, it should be no surprise that I would offer a Valentine's Day meal to express your love (platonic, familial, or romantic). This is a simple, satisfying, and delectable way to let someone special know how you feel.
I suggest an all-in-one (veggie, starch, protein) main course of shrimp scampi with orzo which requires only one pan to clean as well as any iteration of my flourless chocolate cake. The cake can be made in heart shapes if you have (or want to buy) a heart-shaped cake pan, in individual tart pans or even in mini cupcake tins for two-bite treats. Of course, you can just make the (original) 8" cake and freeze any leftovers you may have. Should you want a starter idea, or if these options do not work for you, check out my other recipes here to see if there's something you like better. Serve with your favorite libation (white wine for main, sparkly for dessert?) and enjoy!
Sending you all love this Valentine's Day! xoxo
