One of the things that many people struggle with when it comes to Valentine’s Day<\/a> is the menu. Valentine’s Day meals are supposed to be special, memorable and romantic. So, if you are struggling to decide, here are some great ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your starter can be warm or cold. For a\ncold option, you can serve delicious shrimp cucumber canapes. Use\nthick slices of cucumber. Make sure you create longer slices so that\nthey are large enough to hold the shrimp. Your shrimp needs to be\ncleaned, of course, before placing it on top of the cucumber. Add a\ndrop of sweet chilli on top and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A warm option, if you prefer, is any\ncreamy soup. Cream of mushroom soup is delicious and you can even\nserve with a side of garlic bread if you like. Tomato soup can be\ntopped with some grated cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want plenty of variety, you can\nserve a roast with all the trimmings. The type of meat is up to you\nand you can cook each vegetable separately and serve with gravy on\nthe side. For those who prefer something a bit more comforting on a\ncold day, pasta with a rich and creamy sauce is always a winner.\nConsider spaghetti carbonara or some penne pollo (chicken) with a a\ndelicious creamy white wine sauce and roasted almonds. Make sure\nthat, no matter which one of these Valentine’s Day meals you choose,\nit is something you and your partner enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, if you want to keep it more\ncasual, pizza is perfect! Pizza is great for couples who would like\nto enjoy their dinner while watching a movie together at home without\nall the fuss of knives and forks. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dessert<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Something sweet is a definite MUST when\nit comes to Valentine’s Day meals. It could be something as simple as\nstrawberries and cream or heart-shaped brownies. If you want a warm\npudding, chocolate or fruit cobblers are absolutely scrumptious! \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There you have a few delicious and\nsatisfying Valentine’s Day meals that will make your evening even\nmore special! Don’t forget to decorate your table with fresh flowers,\ncandles and chill the champagne!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
