Swap Overhyped V-Day Dinner Dates for a Homemade Meal or Potluck Party
Skip the overpriced Lovers’ Special Prix Fixe at a local restaurant that likely features out-of-season produce. Instead make your own vegetarian Valentine’s Day feast using local ingredients. Finish on a sweet note with some vegan pudding or a dessert using citrus fruits, many of which are in season this time of year. Try some fun ingredients that are red such as goji berries or mix in some heart-healthy nuts or choose seasonal treats like sweet potatoes or acorn squash. Making the evening into a family affair, or even a pot luck with friends is a nice way to share the holiday with everyone.
