I shared our Valentine’s Day menu with you last week before we even got a chance to taste what we were going to make.

I’d give us a C in presentation…
Grilled Filet
Brad marinated our filet in an herbed balsamic vinegar before grilling it to perfection. Sorry no recipe for that!
Red Potatoes
The red potato bite recipe that I used was definitely a keeper! I replaced the garlic salt with just plain garlic and added only one twist on the salt grinder instead of a whole teaspoon. No one had bad breath though!
Roasted Asparagus
Despite what Brad said on the questionnaire, roasted asparagus might be his favorite thing that I make. It’s incredibly easy… so I’ll share the recipe.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Wash and trim asparagus stalks.
- Toss stalks in olive oil, or spray with olive oil mist.
- Spread out on a baking sheet and lightly salt/pepper. (I sometimes add a little Rosemary or garlic depending on what I feel like. Others enjoy with a little Parmesean cheese).
- Roast in oven for 12-15 minutes.
Peanut Butter Hearts
I decided to be cheesy with dessert and make heart-shaped buckeyes. It became clear when I was mixing up the peanut butter center that forming and dipping hearts wasn’t going to happen. So I formed the peanut butter into hearts and poured melted chocolate over top. It turned out really well and I only had one that looked more like the radar picture of a tropical storm than a heart.
One of the messiest things I’ve ever made
I’m always looking for good vegetable recipes. What’s your favorite?
That food looks amazing! I hope you have a ball 🙂
Plain broccoli drizzled with olive oil and pepper is delicious. I also love to make kale chips. I have a spicy kale chips recipe on my blog ( can sub whatever seasoning you desire). Baby A love stuffed peppers and steamed spinach. Hope these ideas help!
