Valentine's Day Food?!

Stace0616 · February 2014

Wondering what everyone's plans are for Valentine's Day--going out, making dinner, other fun rituals?? I'm trying to make a V-day menu, and want to be tempted

So far, my plan is:
-Pan seared tenderloin with a red wine and mushroom reduction
-Roasted red potatoes, red peppers, and red onion
-Homemade vanilla bean ice cream with heart shaped sugar cookies
-N/A champagne

What are the rest of you gals up to that night?

Uhm, it will probably involve pizza at home on the couch with my dog lol. Usually I make a nice dinner since it's DH's bday as well, but he's out of town.

I will be making a venison tenderloin, with baked potatoes, and broccoli, DH's favorite

NO flowers for this momma...I'm allergic! But he said he'd be making me a flourless chocolate cake (I'm dying for Friday!!!)

Yum! Homemade vanilla bean ice cream with heart cookies? That's amazing. My DH is travelling for work for a few weeks, but bought me a ticket to fly out to him for a long weekend. That just happens to be Valentine's Day. I'm a total sap and love the holiday, so I'm thrilled! However, I don't know what food will be involved just yet. I'm hoping for some spicy pasta of some sort.

All of that sounds delicious @Stace0616. We usually go out to dinner wherever I want. So far I've been getting spoiled this week. This morning, some tulips were delivered to me and I have a hair appointment tomorrow. I have no idea what else is planned.

Every valentines weekend we go on our annual marriage retreat. So we will be at a hotel attending a few workshops and spending quality time together in the time in between.

Making food for DS' birthday party the next morning. So my mom is going to be there to help me clean. Not very romantic:-) but our anniversary is on the 21st so we'll catch up then!

That's a really neat tradition!

Crepes with strawberries and nutella for breakfast... I haven't gotten as far as thinking about dinner yet... i'm just thinking about nutella!!!

All this food sounds fantastic! My DH and i have a pizza picnic tradition for Valentines Day. We lay out a blanket on the floor, oder pizza, and drink something bubbly.

Sushi! It's a tradition to make our own sushi on valentines day. This year it'll be a tempura shrimp roll and a smoked salmon one. No tuna this year as I can't find a source I trust (ah pregnancy guilt). I miss living in a big city!

DH usually cooks his one dish he makes. Tinga! It's a spicy Mexican dish he loves (and I do too) since he lived in Mexico for a couple years. But we have kind of taken it easy with holidays the last while so I don't know that either of us have anything planned haha. Definitely no gifts (mostly because things are tight with baby coming) probably just spending the evening relaxing on the couch together.

all good for me since my love languages are physical touch and quality time

so snuggling on the couch is perfect!

AcaAwkward · February 2014

I'm making homemade pizza. Which I usually make on Friday anyway but DH loves it and requested it. We don't do a big V-day because my birthday is the day before and DH's is the second and DD's is the 21st...we get a bit celebrated-out in feb.

Mustardseed2007 · February 2014

Our plan is to go to @Stace0616 's house for dinner.

Ashleypixie · February 2014

I had been whining to my husband that he never takes me out anymore because I've been in a crappy mood a lot lately. So now we're going out and I never really wanted to in the first place. Oops.

Stace0616 · February 2014

Yeah this whole unemployment thing is definitely bringing out my inner foodie again. I feel like I'm not contributing much--just gestating--so I've been cooking to overcompensate I think. I need to rein it in after this weekend though. Last time I was unemployed, DH and I gained like 40lbs each!

Why can't I just bake fattening foods for other people for a living??

speechie517 · February 2014

We always do chinese take-out, bottle of good wine, and a movie in the comfort of our living room!

eireyes · February 2014

We're going to a fondue restaurant for dinner, and I'm looking forward to getting gussied up and going out - I've been a hermit since New Year's!

That's from a few years ago, but I still drool remembering it!

strawberrytree · February 2014

Damn! I did my meal planning and grocery shopping earlier and totally forgot that Friday was Valentine's Day. I have pork chops planned...maybe I'll pick up a cheesecake or something for dessert. We don't have any plans other than going to Target on Saturday to stock up on 50% off chocolate.

H is making pasta carbonara and we're getting crumbs cupcakes!

Will you be my valentine? This sounds so good.

We have reservations

I hope they have cheese fondue on the menu. I could really go for some good bread and fondue!

beautifulstr13 · February 2014

We usually have a tradition of doing pizza, wine and movies. With a kid things change so it will probably be pizza but nothing else. Or we will go visit my dad for dinner. It depends on if DH's parents offer to watch DS or not.

bacorrea · February 2014

I'm so excited we are going on a mini baby moon! We are headed down to Dallas on Thursday night and on Friday we are going to the Dallas Aquarium and going to a place called Twisted Root Burger Company for dinner. They have fried green tomatoes! I am so stoked.

abbeylanecb · February 2014

I usually do a heart shaped pizza and cookies with my boys and DH. My neighbor is having her baby girl that day so hopefully I can go visit

Edrami · February 2014

We're thinking homemade lobster bisque and fondue so far. Perfect excuse to buy a fondue pot plus I have a 20% off coupon at bed bath & beyond.

Stace0616 · February 2014

If you are near a Trader Joe'e, they have a cheese fondue in a bag that already has everything in it. I was skeptical at first, but it was amaaaaazing!

BreeShipman · February 2014

Not sure I got a text today saying I needed to go shopping or something until 7:30 and then I could come home bc he needed the house to himself. He mentioned awhile back maybe going to the restaurant we went to on our first Valentines Day. Super sweet but secretly I'm hoping it changes I'm not a big fan of Chinese - but he loves it and I'm looking forward to a real-plan-ahead date!

GlynnCoco · February 2014

I'm spending the day getting pampared full spa treatment and massage with the table with the tummy whole and facial and hair done, the works. It's Hubbi's gift to me and a gift for him because he loves it when I look pretty?? I haven't done that in weeks and I need some down time Momma time!!!!
