You’ve got the essentials for this Valentine’s Day: a loved one, some chocolates, maybe a card or a stuffed animal. However, do you have dinner plans lined up?

If you haven’t made reservations yet, then what better way to show your better half you care than by cooking up some seriously decadent and fancy-ish food in the kitchen?

If you’re looking for starters, we’ve got Paleo Zuppa Toscana (better than the stuff you can get while dining out), a bright and zingy tomato and basil salad, and even a chilled avocado soup topped with sumptuous Dungeness crab. Then for sides, we have hasselback butternut squash, cinnamon roasted whole carrots and more.

The main courses shine with a collection of roasts, seafood and other hunks of meat. Seared scallop dinner for two, anyone? Finally, we don’t skimp on desserts: from two heart-shaped cookie recipes to Paleo upside-down cake, you’ll be baking up a Paleo meal you’d be proud to share with your S/O.
