• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. In a bowl, mix together the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until they are tender.

Meanwhile, toast the sliced baguette in the oven for 5-7 minutes until crispy. Once the vegetables are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

A Romantic Main Course: Mushroom and Spinach Risotto

Ingredients:

• 1 cup arborio rice
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups spinach
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot, heat the vegetable broth on low heat. In a separate pan, sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic in butter until they are translucent. Add the arborio rice to the pan and stir until it is coated with the butter. Pour in the white wine and let it cook until it is absorbed.

Gradually add the heated vegetable broth to the rice, one cup at a time, stirring constantly until the broth is absorbed before adding the next cup. This process will take about 20 minutes. Once the rice is cooked, add in the sliced mushrooms and spinach. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Serve the creamy and flavorful mushroom and spinach risotto as the main course for your Valentine's dinner.

Sweeten Things Up with a Decadent Dessert: Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh strawberries

Dip each strawberry in the chocolate mixture, leaving the top part of the strawberry exposed. Place the dipped strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with desired toppings while the chocolate is still wet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until the chocolate is set.
