Valentine’s Day is a special time to express love and appreciation, and what better way to do so than through a heartwarming, home-cooked meal? As a mom living the modern country life, I find joy in cooking delicious meals using fresh, farm-to-table ingredients. This year, I’m excited to share my favorite Valentine’s Day dinner menu that celebrates the bounty of nature and the art of home cooking.

Bringing Love to the Table
Cooking is an expression of love, and when you start with fresh, wholesome ingredients from the farm your already cooking a meal with extra love. These recipes are not just about the food; they are about the moments shared and the memories made around the dinner table.

Appetizer: Rustic Cheese & Herb Platter
Start your romantic dinner with a simple yet elegant cheese and herb platter. Select a variety of local cheeses and pair them with fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme. Add some homemade crusty bread and a drizzle of honey for a delightful beginning.

Side Dish: Salad with Balsamic Dressing
A fresh salad is always a great complement to any meal. Use your favorite fresh greens and add sliced radishes and cherry tomatoes. Top with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette to bring out the flavors of the farm.

Main Course: Herb-Crusted Chicken
For the main course, herb-crusted chicken using fresh herbs. Coat your chicken breasts with a mix of finely chopped basil, parsley, and oregano, along with a hint of garlic and olive oil. Roast until golden brown and serve with a side of roasted farm vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes.

Dessert: Rustic Apple Pie with Homemade Ice Cream
Finish your meal with a classic rustic apple pie! Serve it warm with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream for a sweet ending to your farm-to-table feast.
