Forget the flowers and whip up these delicious Valentine's Day Recipes (or Galentine's, of course) this February. These are my favorite gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy0friendly recipes to whip up during the month of love. I've packed this post with loads of ideas, from snacks and appetizers to mains and desserts!
I love putting together special meal occasions, but I also really have to prioritize uncomplicated, allergy-conscious options. I came up with these recipes so that I could enjoy eating and sharing food that can be enjoyed, whether you have allergies or not! These recipes are designed to be shared and are full of love, so dive in! If you want more love-inspired ideas, check out my Romantic Date Night Dinners!
Valentine Puppy Chow
Valentine Puppy Chow is my absolute must-make, every Valentine's Day. If you're nostalgic like I am, this treat is perfect for a date night with your love. I literally whip this recipe up in 10 minutes! It also makes a fun take-to-school treat and can be packed up in bags or tins. This recipe is peanut-free and is the most delicious sweet and salty combination.
Valentine's Cheesecake
Food is definitely my love language; give me Valentine's Cheesecake over roses any day. These cheesecakes are ultra creamy and they look super cute, too. Each mini cheesecake gets topped with a decadent chocolate strawberry; such a crowdpleaser!
The texture is luscious and decadent and the whole recipe comes together with a few basics you probably already have at home. Nothing fancy and no crazy skills needed! You'll also love that they are gluten free and totally vegan-friendly.
Pink Pasta
You know you want to make this Pink Pasta recipe! I love making this for a little Galentine's evening. Your friends go crazy for this luscious, creamy pasta with earthy roasted beets. Swap your everyday red sauce for this easy, dairy free pink sauce. I like to pair it with a simple salad for a complete meal.
Heart-Shaped Sushi
Tell your loved one or your galentine that you're making sushi, and surprise them with this Heart-Shaped Sushi recipe. Making your own sushi at home is always easier than you'd imagine! It's easily gluten and dairy free and little ones will love it too. Adapt the fillings to suit you and what you have at home.
Chocolate Strawberry Cookies
I love making and sharing these Chocolate Strawberry Cookies and I hope you will try them. Pack them into a gift box or tin and share them with your loved ones. If you can't resist a little chocolate and strawberry combination, this recipe is for you. I love the tangy flavor from the strawberries and that they can be whipped up in about 30 minutes. Play around with the add-ins and make some easy swaps to suit your allergies and needs.
Pink Sugar Cookies
Pink Sugar Cookies are super fun and festive to make during the month of love. My favorite part is topping and decorating them. This recipe is one bowl, low mess and so easy; it's perfect if you are new to baking but really want to make something homemade and delicious. This whole thing melts in your mouth! They're kind of like a Crumbl cookie/Lofthouse classic mash-up.
Heart Thumbprint Cookies
Here's my allergy friendly take on heart shaped cookies: Heart Thumbprint Cookies. Filled with bright jam, they are lovely for Valentine's Day or anytime, really. I'm obsessed with the buttery, melt-in-the-mouth texture of these refined sugar free cookies, topped with fruity jam. Better than store-bought, make these happy little cookies for the perfect little homemade treat.
French Onion Chicken
This bistro-style French Onion Chicken gives you all the feels of a restaurant, without the price tag. Honestly, nothing screams "I love you!" louder than a homemade, restaurant-style meal. This particular recipe gives you all the yummy flavor of a classic French onion soup, just with perfectly cooked chicken, too. It's delicious with fluffy mashed potatoes and a side of asparagus!
Dairy-Free Filet Mignon
Want to learn how to make Dairy-Free Filet Mignon from scratch and serve it this Valentine's/Galentine's Day? I got you! Here's my guide to easy, butter-tender filet mignon. Serve it with your favorite sides, like garlic mashed potatoes and steamed greens, for the perfect date-night recipe. This version is great for anyone with allergies!
Beet Hummus
This pretty as a picture, bright red Beet Hummus is so incredibly delicious. It's perfect as an appetizer or easy side, it's almost too pretty to eat! This dippable, spreadable snack is packed with creamy goodness, and I love putting a plate of it out every February. I get it ready in 15 minutes and serve it with sliced gluten free bread, veggies and other dippers like gluten free pretzels.
