Romantic Dinner Ideas - Burgers for Two

Whether it’s for Valentine’s Day, an anniversary, a special date night–or just because–finding time to spend with the love of your life is paramount. So why not celebrate the time you have with a special meal.

To start, I’ve rounded up an amazingly delicious list of recipes for a multi-course dinner–much like you’d experience if you went out to an expensive restaurant–but truth be told, it’ll cost you far less because you make it yourself.

Choose your favorite recipe(s) below and then adjust the number of servings on the recipe itself. The ingredients will reflect this change, so that you can take a recipe that normally would feed a small crowd and reduce it down to just you two.

And, because you’re reducing the overall quantity of a recipe, the cost will also decrease accordingly–sweet.

Now, I’ve provided a multi-course dinner, but of course, you can include how much or little as you’d like. My hope is that you’ll mix and match recipes you’d love to make–knowing that you won’t be slaving away in the kitchen preparing a romantic dinner all day long.

And, know that for all of these recipes, any leftovers are easily refrigerated until the next day. So nothing will go to waste.

Now’s the time to go ahead and splurge on your special someone, they’ll be glad you did!
