Tips & Recipes for a Decadent Valentine’s Day at Home

Dear friends,

Valentine's Day has always been special to me!

This year, why not stay at home this year and prepare some bites for Valentine’s Day?

Below are some tips and recipes for your day of love, whether you are celebrating Valentine’s Day with a partner, friends, or having a special meal all to yourself!

 
 

Decadent Recipe Ideas

Celebrate with your love by bringing pleasure to the palate and the body with a delicious paleo-inspired meal this year. 

Here are some of my favorite Valentine's Day recipe ideas:

 
 

Easy. Red. Hot. The star is the sauce! Feel free to substitute any red meat that appeals to you such as lamb chops, lamb steak, buffalo steak, or grass-fed beef steak. Ask your butcher what cuts do not require braising time.

 
 
 
 

In this luxurious appetizer, cashew cream creates unbelievable creaminess. I use cashew cream for so many things for its wonderful creamy factor. This simple dip can be made in advance and is great served warm!

 
 
 

Here is a rich and indulgent dessert to enjoy either as a warm chocolate soup, or rolled into truffles! Perfect for chocolate lovers!

 
 
 
 

Doubles as a delicious, nutrient-dense snack! You can cut individual brownies, wrap them in plastic, and pop them in a plastic bag in the freezer. The high-fat content allows them to freeze great! A small brownie is rich and satisfying with a strong cup of tea.
