Romantic Valentine’s Day Dinner Menu Plan

We’ve got all the recipes you need with this romantic Valentine’s Day dinner menu plan to surprise your loved one with a night in.

A night in or a night on the town?  How do you like to celebrate Valentine’s Day?  For me it depends on the year.  Having little kids I usually like going out.  But the last two years we have actually opted to stay in.  The kids have gone to grandma’s house and we’ve had a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner at home.  I have actually really enjoyed it!

For one, it is a lot less money.  We didn’t have to pay for a sitter or an expensive meal.  And second,  it was really nice to sit together and enjoy the quiet in our home together.  We are usually so busy doing other things around the house, that we never get to sit and enjoy our nice home together.

I know not every year Valentine’s Day dinner will be at home, a girl’s got to get out every once in awhile.  But it’s sure nice to not have to think about what to make for your main squeeze if you want to plan a night in.

I’ve teamed up with some of my favorite foodies to put together this romantic Valentine’s Day dinner menu plan to take a little of the stress out of planning a fun evening.  There are lots of options and something for everyone!
