Heartwarming Recipes for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays that can be a lot of fun – especially if you have a partner, family or friends to celebrate it with. But, as always, the key to a stress-free holiday is planning ahead, so start thinking now about how you’re going to put a smile on your special someone’s face this Valentine's Day.

For Someone Special

Nothing says “I Love You” quite like a romantic meal. Start with a festive cocktail, like Sparkling Ginger Cosmopolitans. Then try our Seafood Linguini, made with shrimp, scallops and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Spread. Or for beef lovers, go for a classic like Braised Beef Tenderloin, with Lipton® Recipe Secrets® Onion Mushroom Soup Mix. If you’re pressed for time, reach for one of the Bertolli® Oven Bake Meals®, like Stuffed Shells in Scampi Sauce. Finally, finish up with a rich chocolate-and-hazelnut dessert, like Torta Passionata.

For Your Kids

If you want to do something special for the whole family, why not prepare a festive after-dinner treat? Ice Cream Truffles may sound fancy, but they’re easy — in fact, your kids will love helping you make them! Ask your kids to pick out their favorite Breyers® Ice Cream flavor(s) to use in the recipe. Another fun option: dip fresh fruit in a white chocolate fondue, like our I Am Berry Fondue You. Or make them a savory after-school treat like Valentine Pizzas, made with Ragù® Organic Pasta Sauce. Let them join in the fun by allowing them to choose their own pizza toppings.
 
For Everyone Else

If you want to do something for people at the office, or are hosting an impromptu gathering, one easy sweet treat that’s guaranteed to please are Luscious Chocolate Covered Strawberries, made with semi-sweet chocolate and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Spread. Or bake a couple different batches of festive-looking cookies to mix and match, like Ultimate Double Chocolate Chunk Holiday Cookies, with cranberries and pecans, and Skippy® Cookie Kisses.

Whatever you decide, keep it simple and have fun!
