Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to stroll down Lovers Lane and look back on how your story began. Put a Latin twist on your celebration and punch up the flavor while you embark on your journey walking hand in hand on your Latin Lovers Lane.

Start your day with a breakfast that is full of smoky spice, color, and bursting with flavor. The Chorizo Leek Frittata with Spinach weaves spicy smoked chorizo in with delicately flavored sautéed leeks and bitter spinach, making a breakfast that is easy to prepare, easy to share, and easy to eat! Pair with a slice of buttered toast for crunch.

For lunch, let your honey’s eat their hearts out with the Eat Your Heart Out Tostada. An oven "fried", heart shaped tortilla is topped with sautéed sweet red peppers, onion and tomato, sprinkled with ripe avocado and crumbled queso blanco making a dish that you can dig into, and get messy with, together.

To keep the Latin flavor love train going there is nothing better than Roast Pernil with Smoky Sweet Potato Chips. Tender, juicy, spicy pernil filled with roasted garlic, parsley, crushed red pepper flakes and fresh cracked black pepper is complemented by crisp oven baked sweet potato chips tossed in spanish smoked paprika and olive oil. This dish brings together smoky, spicy and sweet in a way that can only be rivaled by you and your honey.
