70 Best Valentine's Day Dinner Ideas to Try This Year

If you're on the hunt for delicious, inventive, anything-but-ordinary Valentine's Day dinner ideas, you're going to want to seek advice from an anything-but-ordinary couple. So how about Ree and Ladd Drummond? Their love story is the stuff of legend, and their taste in food is, well...this is The Pioneer Woman herself we're talking about.

Here, you'll find a list of romantic dishes that'll make your partner smile (and ask for seconds) on Valentine's Day. Making a special dish is one of the most popular Valentine's Day activities you can easily do. Naturally, there's plenty of steak dinner ideas here—including a bacon-wrapped filet drenched in melty "cowboy butter" and a fried round steak that comes together in just 10 to 15 minutes. But there are also plenty of other options to choose from. Impress your sweetie with a lobster and spiced tomato risotto, teriyaki-glazed ribs that come together right in your slow cooker, or homemade biscuits (don't skimp on the cinnamon-honey butter!). You could also keep things simple with pan-roasted chicken thighs and fresh skillet dinner rolls. After all, it's really the thought that counts.

Add a chocolatey Valentine's Day dessert to round out the meal—perhaps some festive Valentine's Day cupcakes or mug cakes—and, well, you really can't go wrong. Here's to a romantic dinner menu they won't soon forget.
