Here's A Perfect Gluten-Free & Vegan Date Night Menu that will impress and wow anyone you're trying to please. No one will notice that this meal plan of beautiful and delicious recipes is gluten-free & vegan!

A spread of fresh fruit like grapes or strawberries, some artisanal vegan nut cheese, hummus, and some Crunchmaster Gluten-Free Crackers! My favorite are the Multi-Grain Sea Salt Crackers!

Beverages

Virgin Banana Daiquiris that are gluten-free, vegan, and sugar-free you and even the kids can enjoy this healthy recipe!

Need some non-alcoholic beverages? Try these Virgin Banana Daiquiris or these Frosty Coconut Mint Green Tea Mocktails. Need something warm? Healing Tahini Hot Chocolates for all!

First Course

Raw Balsamic Tahini Beet Noodles | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #glutenfree #raw #vegan

Fluffy Rosemary Yeast Buns | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 Soft fluffy rosemary yeast buns that are gluten-free and vegan. The warm and comforting aromas of savory herbs with a special technique for soft and fluffy dinner buns will have you reaching for the bread basket.

A beautiful Raw Balsamic Tahini Beet Noodleย Salad and some Rosemary Yeast Buns are perfect for a light first course before the main event! Full of flavor and texture, lovely color and warming rosemary scents!

Side Dishes

Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #brusselssprouts #vegatables

A simple veggie side dish could be these Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts (they'll turn anyone into a Brussels lover!). You can even serve some Roasted Broccolini with Lemon Herb Sauce!

Main Course

Purple Sweet Potato Gnocchi + Tahini Parsley Sauce | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 You won't believe how easy homemade gnocchi can be! With the stunning color of purple sweet potatoes and the taste of creamy tahini with parsley and garlic, this gluten-free, vegan, nut-free, and paleo recipe will blow everyone's mind! An elegant dinner or date night dish!

No one could pass up a plate of Purple Sweet Potato Gnocchi! So simple to make and paleo! If you want another colorful dish, serve this Beetroot Risotto or maybe share a Levantine Socca Pizza!

Dessert

Chocolate Caramel Affogato (Gluten-Free, Vegan) | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 The easiest 2 ingredient Chocolate Caramel Affogato recipe that's gluten-free and vegan! A decadent buzz-worthy treat to prepare on a date night or girl's night! This twist on the classic Italian dessert will be your new favorite coffee and ice cream treat!

The best way to end this meal of wonder? Some Chocolate Caramel Affogatos, of course! I wouldn't get made if you chose this Strawberry Cappuccino Ice Cream or these Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons either (both of which are paleo!

So tell me:

+ Do you have any special date nights planned in celebration of Valentine's Day (or just because)?
