Stress Free Valentine’s Meal Ideas
Alamos Malbec (available at Target), Braised Short Ribs Recipe, Chocolate Truffles With Sea Salt Recipe
Looking for a little Valentine’s meal inspiration? These meals were both designed so that you can prepare them ahead of time and do minimal work after your guest(s) arrive. Designed to impress without the stress, if you will. Shrimp cocktail is the easiest appetizer and looks restaurant-style elegant. You can buy the shrimp pre-cooked at your local grocery store. Then, just stick it in a martini glass with a little cocktail sauce. The braised short ribs are a slow cook kind of deal so you do all the work about three hours before you want to eat.
Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe, Robert Mondavi Sauvignon Blanc, Roasted Lemon Chicken Recipe, Chocolate Pistachio Cannoli Recipe
The stuffed mushrooms and roasted lemon chicken might seem like a lot of work but they’re both pretty easy. AND, as is the theme here today, you can do the prep ahead of time and pop them in the oven 30-40 minutes before you’re ready to eat. No need to mess up your Valentine’s outfit!
