Ah, love. Is there any better way to show your ardor than through food? It’s probably too late to secure restaurant reservations for Saturday night with your honey, but hey—who wants to fight the dinner crowds for overpriced specials anyway? Besides, I’ve got the perfect Paleo Valentine’s menu for you.

Ready to sweep your sweetie off his/her feet with a romantic home-cooked meal? Even if you aren’t an experienced cook, with these five dishes, you’re guaranteed a happy ending!


Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Bacon

Mexican Chocolate Pots de Crème

Bonus Tip: Plan ahead! You can prepare the soup, short ribs, and dessert up to four days ahead. On V-Day, whip up the cauliflower rice and roast the broccoli while the short ribs and soup reheat on the stove!
