Lately, my boyfriend and I have gotten really into cooking! Neither of us has very much experience in the field, but we find it so enjoyable and rewarding to prepare, make, and eat our own food. Wednesday nights are our cooking nights, where we get together and cook a whole meal, drink some wine, and watch a movie. It makes for the perfect mid-week date night!
Here are 5 recipes that you can make EASILY with your SO this Valentine's Day!
