Keep the Valentine's Day Flame Alive

Avoid amateur night at your local restaurant, put the kids to bed, open a bottle, and eat at home instead (especially given Valentine’s Day is on a Tuesday this year). Bonus, the commute is 20 steps or less, so nothing can spoil the mood….just saying 😉 

   

Make a (snack) Dinner Board in a few easy steps to share with your sweetie. A deconstructed low-key make-ahead meal that can be reheated just before serving. 

  

Start with the dips.  

Creamy, versatile and irresistible dips for your favourite crudité! Dips give a low-effort lift to any board 

  

Herb and Garlic Dip

The perfect class to go with crudités (Use whatever’s in season, we love celery, peas, carrots, peppers & cucumbers). 

  

Chipotle Aioli

Just the right little bit of smoke and spice for your next date night. Perfect buddy for Buffalo wings!  

  

Aioli

The French are great lovers… of aioli. Like love, it goes with everything, especially smashed potatoes, and you can never have enough. 

  

Ooey Gooey Queso Dip

Warm, ooey, gooey cheese dip. Perfect for dunking. 

  

Bruschetta

Tomatoes were referred to as the apple of love, signifying excitement and passion. We now know tomatoes are rich in the antioxidant lycopene, a powerful libido-enhancer making tomato bruschetta a good idea for dinner tonight! Bruschetta with fresh, bright basil, tomatoes and garlic will delight. 

  

Then add some substance to your noshes.  

Buffalo Wings

Spicy and saucy finger- licking good wings. Easy to prep, made in minutes, perfect for reheating 

  

Honey Garlic Meatballs

These sticky honey garlic meatballs are seriously delish. 

 

Smashed Potatoes

Crazy crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. 

  

Baked Brie with Pepper Jelly

 Baked Brie has to be the world’s easiest addition to your board… transform an ordinary brie (no need to choose something fancy) into a spectacular brie by covering it in red pepper jelly! Guaranteed to take you to your happy place …  

  

So go ahead, pop open a bottle of wine or bubbly and spend time with your sweetie, rather than just being a table in the crowd.  Love is a beautiful thing. Happy Valentine's Day!
