Tips for Preparing for that Special Night!
- Know your partner: If this is a new "boo thang", inquire about what ingredients they like or don't like. Are they open to trying a vegan meal. A date is not necessarily the time to try and "force" anything new on someone so make sure they are actually open and excited to try a plant based meal!
- Add wine: If you are a drinker (and of legal age), make these dinners super elegant with a nice glass of red (my personal favorite) or white wine.
- End with dessert: Don't just stop at dinner! Check out these vegan valentines desserts and end your evening on a sweet note.
- Cook with love: While preparing these dishes, put love into it! Put on some of your favorite love or sexy R&B songs (or whatever genre of music), and get yourself in the mood! Might sound a little "woo woo" but I truly believe the energy you come with in preparing food makes a difference in how it taste!
- Prep in advance: Some these recipes can be prepped in advance. So save your energy a make dinner a day or two ahead so you can focus on dolling yourself for the evening!
