Holidays, Valentine’s Day The Easy Way
It’s all about Valentine’s Day this week with
a Valentine Tablescape Blog Hop,
a buffet of ideas for beautiful, romantic, sweet or fun ways
to set your table for Valentine’s Day
❤️
You can enjoy a lot of Valentine fun without working too hard…
You know the old saying,
“The way to a man’s heart is through is stomach?”
Well let’s update this saying for 2019 and amend it to
“The way to melt anyone’s heart is with wonderful food!”
And what about the saying “We eat with our eyes”
What we initially see is going to impact our taste buds,
so presentation is everything!
Simple food in a pretty setting becomes a gourmet dining experience!
Petite Cheesecake Boules are made with frozen cheesecake
Fancied up a bit
with a drizzle, a sprinkle, and berries
Since so many people opt to stay home for Valentine’s Day,
Here are a few more party worthy bites to make your day extra special!
Not only will these recipes melt hearts,
they are super easy!
Bacon Wrapped Sweet Chili Shrimp could not be easier,
Wrap shrimp in a partially cooked piece of bacon
Cover with Sweet Asian Chili sauce and bake,
swoonworthy!
Pimiento Cheese Cookies with Strawberry Icing
a sweet and savory treat all in one,
perfect for guys or gals!
Up the wow factor!
French Onion Soup Stuffed Mushrooms with Rosemary Croutons
Serve these as an appetizer or a side
heaven!
If you’re having steaks,
serve them with a steakhouse style
Bernaise Sauce or Bleu Cheese Sauce
Whip up this Luscious Lemon Raspberry Pastry
Perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea with your “Galentines”
Raspberry White Chocolate Roll-ups are very simply divine!
Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies combine
the best of cake, cheesecake and brownies
into one dreamy dessert!
One of my very favorite desserts,
Can be decorated for any holiday or theme
And don’t forget something on a stick!
Take these to work for a Valentine treat for everyone
Serve these with or without a Bloody Mary
A Valentine picnic perhaps?
Teriyaki Steak Kebabs are a complete meal on a stick!
Marinate the meat ahead of time,
a great bottled marinade is Soy Vay Very Very Teriyaki
then let everyone make his/her own
Slice squash or zucchini, onions, mushrooms, peppers, pineapple, anything goes-
Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds to make them look festive
and grill or broil until done
Assemble Dessert Kebabs
with purchased brownies, cheesecake, candy bars and berries!
Now, wasn’t that easy!!

Jenna, I shall have the raspberry white chocolate roll-ups and red velvet cheesecake brownies, please. You are a one stop site for the best food. Now, I will need more than a banana for breakfast.😊. Happy Thursday!
oh, whoops, yes those do sound better than the yogurt I’m eating…
Jenna, no one does it like you! Fabulous meals, menus and recipes and you even show us how to serve it up. My go to for inspiration…….Happy day.
Aw, thanks Emily!
Damn, woman! You are making me so hungry! And truer words were never spoken on those cliche statements you included. That BLT kabob on the Bloody Mary is calling me, but the shrimp, and the coconut cupcakes…..and all easy enough. Just wow!
Easy is the way I roll these days, I like to cook, but not all day!
I love the black, white and red combinations.
I am a huge black and white fan, it brings so much drama and definition to everything!
Jenna, You are amazing, Not sure when you sleep. Your food is so pretty and I know delicious.
thank you Bonnie, these are rounded up from the archives…I’m pretty lazy these days!
So many fantastic ideas!!
Everything looks so delicious too. 💗
Thanks Patty Anne, I love easy 🙂

thanks Patty Anne, I love easy!
The BLT kabobs have me intrigued. I’m trying to come up with a main dish for a strolling dinner and then another bit (other people are bringing things). I might give these babies a try!
Everybody loves BLTs and it’s fun to have one on a stick, great idea for a party Jeanie!
All looks so delish!! ❤️❤️❤️
thanks Jill!
What a wonderful assortment of delicious food! Maybe I shouldn’t have read this as I am going to bed, it’s making me hungry! Really like all your ideas on a stick, especially the breakfast foods and the antipasta version. Pinned and would like to try for picnics or anytime sounds good actually! Thanks Jenna.
thanks Cyndi, the antipasto skewers are a favorite of mine, always brings raves
We sure have enjoyed featuring your delicious recipe this week and I just pinned it! Hope you are having a great day and thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday!
