Valentine's Day Recipes for Dinner

Are you staying home for Valentine’s Day this year? Or do you go out to dinner? We usually just stay home and I make a fancy(er) meal to celebrate instead, so I’m always on the hunt for new Valentine’s Day recipes for dinner.

The thing is, it doesn’t really have to be all that fancy.

Sure, maybe a little fancier than frozen chicken nuggets and french fries, but hey, if that’s your thing…then go for it.

The point of Valentine’s Day is to spend time with the one you love, right?

So, why waste most of your time in the kitchen cooking?

Instead, choose an easy Valentine’s Day recipe that doesn’t take a ton of time to prepare.

Then, take the extra time to cozy on up to your honey and watch a sweet, romantic comedy on Netflix.

Here’s 5 of my favorite Valentine’s Day recipes for dinner…

General Tso Chicken

Skip the Chinese Food takeout and make your own General Tso Chicken with this super easy (and delicious!) recipe!

Serve over rice or Ramen noodles.

Sweet & Tangy Mozzarella Parmesan Meatloaf

This yummy meatloaf is stuffed to the gills with mozzarella and parmesan, then topped with an amazing sweet & tangy sauce.

Cheese Ravioli Lasagna AKA Cheater Lasagna

Your honey will be so surprised when you serve this amazing Cheater Lasagna!

It looks and tastes like you’ve been in the kitchen for hours, but believe me…it is about the easiest lasagna you’ll ever make. And no one has to know that it starts with frozen ravioli!
