A great alternative to this would be staying in and cooking dinner for that special someone. There are hundreds of simple recipes that you can follow for both to enjoy. You dont have to be an all-star chef to create an all-star dish.

We have handpicked some of the best ideas on a Romantic Menu For Two from Delish. Fan of Sea, it looks like the dishes prepared to wow are going to be Lemon Garlic Shrimp, Crab Alfredo, Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta, Linguine With Clams, and Cheesy Baked Shrimp Scampi Dip. All of these recipes can be mix and matched with ingredients of choice, you typically see that purchasing pre-cooked or frozen shrimp will be much more ideal and health safety conscious.

For the meat lovers in the room you can never go wrong with a steak or tenderloin roast. Indulge in the buttery, delicious beef tenderloin roast of your dreams with simple spices and rosemary prepared in less than an hour. Want to cut the cost of having to order or what would be to prepare and appetizer? A Caprese steak offers you the best of both worlds add your favorite seasonings and spread some fresh mozzarella, Roma tomato, and basil on top and you will be good to go. Need to spice it up combine spinach and artichoke into a roll up with a nice skirt steak.

No meat, no seafood, vegetarians rejoice! Explore some great tasting options with the 5 Cheese Marinara, Cheesy Lemon Garlic Pasta, Toasted Garlic Butter Ravioli with crushed red pepper. These options are something spectacular and give you an alternative if your dietary restrictions or personal choices guide you in this direction.

But saving the best for last would lead you to baking the delectable delights. We found the tastiest and eye popping bites are going to be the Red Velvet and Skillet Cookie and the Mocha Truffle Bars. These recipes are simple enough for the most novice of cooks but can far exceed your loved ones expectations. All of these recipes may keep you in the kitchen but something original and home made can make it that much more special.

Catch A Movie

Dinner is always the cliche for Valentines Day, but what if you could find the two for one deal dinner and a movie you have found a winner. There are multiple theaters around Chicago that will offer this combo deal.

AMC DINE-IN Block 37 – In the heart of the loop you can experience the latest movies to be released with a full menu to dine in as well. They offer anything from the traditional popcorn and candies to a full menu which includes the likes of Loaded Brisket Fries as an app. Enjoy an entree in the shape of a Artisan Pepperoni flatbread, an Asian Steak & Shrimp bowl, a Smoky Jalapeño Burger, or a healthy alternative Chopped Cobb salad. Reclined assigned seating gets you in the right spot and in your acoustic zen. Don’t worry about parking we have you covered here.

AMC DINE-IN 600 N Michigan 9 – In the bustling River North area take time to relax in the reclined assigned seating. Splurge on the evening with an appetizer of Loaded Bacon Tots, feed your wild side with a Philly Steak flatbread, or enjoy a Avocado Chicken Grilled Sandwich. Prices for movie theathers of this caliber you will see it make a slight dent into your pocket but not near the impact it would have attending one of the restaurants in the area for a Valentines Day out.

Something that we forget when we are wrapped up in social media influences, we need to put down our phones to spend the time with the ones we care about even if it is for a special occaision. It does not have to be about a significant other per say, it can be spending time with your favorite pet or enjoying the company of family and friends. Most of all invest in yourself and celebrate all of your accomplishments to this point!
