Romantic Date Night (Just for Two)

Love is officially in the air, and no, you don’t need fancy reservactions to enjoy a delicious meal for two.

🥂STARTER

A bowl of fresh spinach salad with croutons and bacon pieces, next to a fork and a bottle of dressing.

Spinach and Bacon Salad– The sweet dressing with the salty bacon keeps you wanting more. 

👉 Why it works: Light, colorful, and doesn’t steal the spotlight from dessert.

Optional add-on: Goat cheese or feta for a creamy contrast.

🍝 MAIN COURSE

Italian Chicken Pasta– Creamy Italian Chicken Pasta recipe, packed with flavor from spinach, garlic, and sun dried tomatoes, your family will gobble this easy dinner right up!

👉OR swap with:
Baked Ziti for a vegetarian-friendly option

🥖 SIDE of BREAD

Loaf of artisan bread in a dutch oven.

No Knead Artisan Bread– warm bread with butter is one of the most romantic things you can serve. Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but it is delicious!

Flavor idea: Honey butter or strawberry butter for a Valentine twist.

🍫 DESSERT

Chocolate Covered Strawberries– serve with a glass of champagne or sparkling juice!
