Kari’s Valentine’s Day Menu
Rise and shine! It’s Valentine’s Day and what a great way to start showing your appreciation and love by making breakfast in bed! This delightful recipe will start the day off right and pairs perfectly with a mango mimosa!
This recipe takes no time at all but the flavors are so deep and layered, they’ve I’ll think you’ve been cooking all day in the kitchen (or you could just dirty a couple of extra pots for sympathy..wink wink!)
This romantic holiday is for showing someone how much you care so why not do that by serving up this heart-healthy salad packed with antioxidants and fiber? The beautiful colors are eye-catching and the flavors are mouth watering! To really put this salad over the top, serve it with a glass of Prosecco or cava for balanced flavor!
I don’t think you should always have to spend a lot of money to enjoy a delicious meal, in fact, this recipe is one of my pantry staples that’s sure to be friendly on your wallet (waistline optional). If you are craving protein for this dish but don’t want to spend extra $$, then frozen shrimp is the way to kick this dish up! Just make sure to defrost the shrimp and fold in to the risotto at the last minute to heat the pre-cooked shrimp through. Guaranteed to be a hit!
Nothing beats the taste of homemade and why not put a little heart into your cooking skills by making these for your love? Such an easy recipe and great for those who just can’t tolerate gluten…it’s a win-win for everyone!
Happy Valentine’s Day to all my special friends at Kenmore!
