As I’m sure you know, the pressure surrounding Valentine’s Day continues to increase.We are expected to plan an extravagant, expensive experience for the one we love.
But it is possible to create something just as fun, just as lovely, just as perfect in the comfort of our own home.
Let’s talk about it.
Plan the Perfect Stay At Home Valentine’s Day Celebration
You have likely heard the phrase, ‘the way to a man or woman’s heart is through their stomach’. So, it is important that our home celebration start with good food. Good news, I have just the inside scoop you need.
We can start here: make your Valentine’s Day twice as nice by combining two of Bertolli’s favorite pasta sauces (one red and one white) to combine to make the perfect pink sauce. My recommendation is to start with Bertolli’s Alfredo Sauce with Aged Parmesan Cheese and another favorite, their Bertolli Traditional Marinara with Italian Herbs and Fresh Garlic. The combination of the two creates the perfect creamy Rosa sauce.
This sauce is ideal for two recipes – a Caprese Gnocchi with blistered tomatoes and a Spaghetti with Rosa Carbonara. Both are mouth watering.
If you want to snuggle in with your favorite special someone, consider spoiling them with a bowl of warm, delicious soup. Idahoan Steakhouse Soups are a perfect fit. Not only are they filled with flavor, but they are affordable and can be prepared in your own kitchen in less than 5 minutes. By simply adding water, you can prepare soup with restaurant quality taste. Each soup is made with real red, Idaho potatoes, flavored seasonings and rich cheese so you experience a perfect, creamy taste in every spoonful.
The idea? Keep it simple.
Pull out your favorite red or pink dishes and serving sets, consider a few balloons or fresh flowers, make your mark with candles….and my favorite – put flowers in your ice cubes to add a little something extra to your Valentine’s Day water or cocktails.
What tips do you have for making Valentine’s Day special at home? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Hope your day is special.
Everything about this is so great! I love the pasta. Pasta makes everything better AND more romantic.
Idahoan is a great brand. I make their stuff all the time for the family. Their potatoes are top notch.
Well all of that sure would find it’s way to my heart! It looks like the perfect meal for Valentine’s Day!
Valentines at home is the new fad, especially with kids!! That pasta dish looks delicious and I love the flowers in the ice cubes! Pasta like that always reminds me of Lady and the Tramp! Very romantic!
I have tried a few of those soups and I love them! They are so quick and easy!
I love pasta so much! I haven’t had it in a long time. I found out I was allergic to gluten a few years ago, and while gluten free pasta is good…it’s still not the same.
You don’t have to go out to have a good date with your spouse this Valentine’s! No lines, no crowds, and you’ll get to focus on each other. I think this post is helpful!
Mmmm now I’m in the mood for pasta and soup! My husband and I actually stay home every Valentine’s Day and we cook together. Love it!
Such a cute idea to have a stay at home Valentine’s celebration. Must try this. I think It’s gonna be a good news for my husband and kids.
I’ve never tried those soups, but they look yummm! I can’t wait to check them out!
This sounds fabulous. I would much rather stay home than go to a crowded restaurant!
We always do small at home Valentine’s Day celebrations! We just enjoy them more and don’t have to fight wait times for dinners
This all sounds so good! We’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day a day late because it’s Ash Wednesday but we plan to make a big special dinner full of our favourites.
I’ve never been one to care about celebrating Valentine’s Day, but – I do love soup! I don’t recall seeing this brand before but I’m certainly going to look for it and give it a try. It looks delicious!
