It’s nearly that time of the year when you’ll want to offer lots of gifts and treats to your partners and make them feel loved the most. Although it doesn’t take any special day or occasion to treat your partner that way, it is necessary to remind your partners that they deserve surprises and even little efforts are enough to make them happy. I personally think that gifts and treats don’t always have to be materialistic or the ones that you spend a lot of your money on. But these valentines day recipes are the perfect handmade gifts that your partner will love the most.
Little gestures of love and compassion, like spending a little more time with your partner (as we can’t always do that because of our busy schedule) or making something for them entirely by yourselves like cooking them their favorite meal or making them a beautiful montage can serve as outstanding gifts or treats for your loved one. I believe these are worth more than expensive gifts. Cooking food for my partner is one of my favorite love languages.
So this Valentine’s Day, I have brought to you treat ideas galore where you can choose your partner’s favorite dish and make it for them from my valentines day recipes. I have chosen some of the best holiday recipes and curated a list of recipes for Valentine’s Day that are going to brighten up your and your partner’s day. So let’s get into the recipes without any further ado. You’re going to surprise your partner with the best of the best surprises they could ever imagine!

18. Valentine’s Swirl Cake
I love to bake cakes for every occasion and Valentine’s day is going to be no exception. As I wasn’t quite sure what cake to bake for this Valentine’s Day, I asked my daughter to give me some suggestions. After some discussion, we decided that we’re going to bake Valentine’s swirl cake for her papa and she was going to help me with that. Because this cake is made using a box of cake mix and canned frosting is used to frost it, you’ll be able to easily bake this cake.
Half the cake mix is dyed pink with strawberry jello to give it the swirl effect. Half of the canned frosting is also dyed pink using pink gel food coloring. I also used valentines sprinkles to decorate the cake and it made the cake look all the more pretty and fun. When my daughter and I finished baking and decorating the cake, we were so proud of ourselves! We surprised her papa with it when he came back from work the other day and the three of us enjoyed the cake together. My husband ate 3 slices in one go and we were so happy!

15. Beet Pasta Sauce
It’s the little efforts that draw our loved ones closer to us and makes them feel special. I had a little something in my mind that I wanted to execute to make our Valentine’s eve dinner special. I have never had a candlelight dinner ever in my life, so I thought I would surprise my partner by arranging a candlelight romantic dinner at my place. On the menu, there will be his favorite dishes. One of his favorites is this beet pasta sauce that we had in a restaurant a few weeks ago.
So I’m gonna try and make it. I tried the recipe once and it was a grand success. I was astonished that the flavors bloomed in this homemade version even more nicely. To achieve the sauce I blended cashews, beets, coconut milk, garlic, lemon juice, and salt into a smooth paste. Don’t add all your beer at once. Add slowly and stop when you achieve a beautiful vibrant pink color. You can add this pink sauce to any pasta you like. I made a pink sauce pasta using this sauce for our date night dinner and my partner loved it.

10. Red Velvet Cake Truffles
A synonym for celebration and love is red velvet. Doesn’t the thought of confetti raining on a happy couple make you picture a dark crimson truffle with touches of white chocolate chip on top? Make these red velvet cake truffles for your special someone on Valentine’s Day to show them how much you care.
These truffles, which are adorned with white or semisweet chocolate chips, have the classic buttery-sweet, the mild cocoa flavor of red velvet cake. It’s ideal for Valentine’s Day! Strongly tasting like the classic red velvet cake, these truffles have a powerful flavor. Although it can be difficult to define, in my mind’s eye it tastes lovely and has its own distinct flavor, whether or not it lives up to the label of “chocolate.” It is sweet and buttery with a hint of cocoa. I will admit that using semisweet chocolate chips will surely tip the scales in favor of chocolate when making these red velvet cake truffles.

9. Strip Steak Recipe
This Valentine’s Day I planned to celebrate with my partner by watching some good French romantic movies and having a good French dish for dinner. We chose ‘In The Mood For Love’ as the movie and our dinner must be some classic French creamy bearnaise strip steak with some of your favorite veggies. The creamy sauce derives its slightly tangy taste from the white wine vinegar tarragon, dijon mustard, and sour cream.
Everything, from the sauce to the steak and veggies is cooked in just one pan making it extremely easy for you to clean up, so you can spend more time with your sweetheart on the evening of Valentine’s Day and enjoy watching your favorite movie together.
