These 3 Valentine’s Day at Home Menus from fancy to casual has everyone covered. Whether you like to stay in and make this night extra fancy, or you rather keep it casual or something in the middle. We got you covered!
Why Celebrate Valentine’s Day at Home
In a world where it is so easy to get caught up in the hustle of the everyday grind, Valentine’s Day stands out as a special day to pause and celebrate love. We are also of the opinion, that it doesn’t mean that you have to do anything extravagant. We think spending it at home offers the chance to do something special but without going over the top.
There is so much to love about celebrating at home. Valentine’s Day is a day to create cherished memories with your loved one, and what better way to do that then by being in the space you created together. We feel it adds a level of comfort and you literally feel right at home.
This way once you finish the delicious meal we are about to discuss with you, there’s no wait time to being on the couch or in bed. Whether you want to cuddle or go to bed (depending on your situation lol), eating at home allows you to keep it easy and simple with your couch just a hop away.
The best part about keeping it at home, is that you get to decide every detail from top to bottom. We can make a menu that you know that you and your partner will enjoy. We truly feel that preparing a meal is an act of love, and what better day than Valentine’s to do something that you know your partner loves. It can add a little extra meaning to the day.
Lovers remember, as always below you will find just suggestions! Feel free to mix and match however you see fit!
Some Other Yummy Romantic Entrees To Consider
3 Menus to Celebrate Your Valentine’s Day at Home
Fancy Valentine’s Day Menu
- Appetizer: Bacon-Wrapped Dates – Sweet dates wrapped in savory bacon and baked until crispy. They come together quick and easy and are always a hit! The trick will be not filling up on these before the main event.
- Main Course: Filet Mignon with Risotto – Tenderloin steak cooked to perfection and served with creamy risotto. The best part about this “fancy” meny is that the filet is simple and easy to bring together, and you have this rich creamy risotto that can be ready in under 15 minutes thanks to our Instant Pot!
- Dessert: Basque Cheesecake– Classic Spanish desert straight from the Basque region. A luscious beautiful cheesecake that looks fancy, but is actually so simple to do. We can’t wait for you to try it.
Casual Valentine’s Day Menu
- Appetizer: Jamon Serrano Deviled Eggs, always a crowd favorite. We love these because we can make them fancy or keep them casual. Adding that little bit of serrano really takes these over the top for us in a very delicious way.
- Main Course: Fried Chicken with Chopped Salad – Crispy fried chicken served with a fresh chopped salad is always a good idea. We love this Pollo Frito recipe, the mojo, acts as a binding agent and it keeps the breading fresh and light. Then we think this salad is a great way to balance it all out, and save room for dessert.
- Dessert: Bread Pudding – Classic bread pudding made with donuts and chocolate that will leave you feeling full and very satisfied.
Vegetarian Valentine’s Day Menu
- Appetizer: Baked Brie with Honey – Creamy brie cheese baked and topped with honey, pomegranate seeds and nuts. This is a great easy recipe, that doesn’t have the fuss of a puff pastry. You can customize it and add any herbs or things you like.
- Main Course: Truffle Mushroom Pasta – Homemade pasta tossed with sautéed mushrooms and truffles just screams Valentine’s Day. It’s such a simple and sexy dish that everyone will love.
- Dessert: No Egg Tiramisu, comes together so quickly and easily. You will love how light and airy this dessert is with just the right hit of chocolate and espresso.
We have so many other amazing options for you to chose from! The important thing is to select things that you and your special someone will love. The rest will take care of itself.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Lovers!
