Valentine’s Day is here! Have you made plans to celebrate? If you are like millions of others, your plans probably include a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant. As a highly introverted person, the thought of sitting in a loud crowded restaurant is not my idea of a romantic night. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a meal out as much as anyone. But around Valentine’s Day, when most nice restaurants at full capacity, I’d much rather have a quiet evening at home. Can you relate? (Or did you forget to make reservations for you and your sweetheart?) Don’t fret. I’ve got some delicious heart healthy dinner ideas from the Emmet Street Creations archives that are easy to make but taste like you spent hours in the kitchen. Just mix and match the recipes from the list below for a quiet meal that will make your love swoon.

- Radish and butter crostini
