It’s happened to the best of us: we stick to our New Year’s diet resolutions like glue … until the boxes of chocolate start popping up in the grocery store. By the time Valentine’s Day rolls around, you’ve already eaten a few boxes of conversation hearts, and everything goes out the window when your partner makes you a delicious, decadent, but wildly unhealthy dinner. Fitness goals: obliterated. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Life & Style spoke exclusively with some of the leading healthy chefs to find recipes you can make your loved one (or yourself) for appetizers, dinner, drinks and dessert that won’t ruin your resolutions!
“My husband and I rarely go out on Valentine’s Day,” revealed Katie Webster, the classically trained chef and former food stylist behind Healthy Seasonal Recipes. “Not only is it super crowded, but the restaurants try to get you in and out as soon as they can because they’ve got so many two-tops to serve. Instead, we put the kids to bed, light a fire and have a stay-at-home date night.” Luckily, Katie and cookbook author Diana Keuilian of Real Healthy Recipes have plenty of suggestions for what to make at home for the special day.
Cocktails
Pomegranate Lemon Drop Martinis. “If you’re feeling festive, it’s always fun to start with a pink-hued cocktail,” Katie suggested. The delicious beverage is perfect for the romantic holiday, and only takes five minutes to whip up!
Appetizers
Roasted Grape Crostini With Goat Cheese and Walnuts. “Here’s an appetizer to share with your honey: roasted grape crostini with goat cheese and walnuts drizzled with honey,” said Katie. “They’re super flavorful, and your significant other can nibble on them while you make the main course.” One crostini is just 67 calories, and who wouldn’t be impressed by this luxe little snack?
Beet Salad With Pickled Eggs. “Please only attempt this recipe if you are in a really fancy mood,” teased Diana of her surprisingly easy recipe. “Put on your gourmet, award-winning-chef hat and fancy things up!” This high-end sexy salad is only 177 calories a serving, so you can feel as good about it as you feel about your boo!
Entrees
Moules Frites. “For the main course, I think it would be so fun and relaxing to make home-made Moules Frites,” suggested Katie. “Mussels are one of those ‘only order at a restaurant’ meals, but they’re actually super easy to make at home. Wow your valentine by making them from scratch, and open a bottle of good French wine. I’d pour either a white Burgundy or Cotes du Rhone.” Find her recipe for mussels here, and her killer skinny oven fries here! Combine them to make the amazing, chic dish.
Spicy Orange Shrimp with Noodles En Papillote. Diana suggested “spicing things up” with this colorful, flavorful recipe. The high-end dish takes just 30 minutes to prepare, and has under 200 calories per plate. We can only imagine how much it would wow your significant other!
Moroccan Spiced Chicken and Squash. If you’re in the mood for a “cozier” dish, Diana offered up her killer Moroccan chicken recipe. This gorgeous plate clocks in at 336 calories, and will put you in the mood to cuddle up and enjoy a movie together right after.

Maple Bacon Peanut Butter Truffles. Okay, we’re drooling. Diana offered up these killer truffles, and how could anyone say no? “Whoever you choose to gift these babies to is really winning. Especially if they love bacon and peanut butter as much as my sweetheart does!” she said. They clock in at 87 calories, so aim for just one or two to top off your special meal.
Skinny Flourless Chocolate Cake. Don’t let the “skinny” title fool you, this cake is as decadent as any restaurant version. “For dessert, pull out a single slice of the richest darkest flourless chocolate cake and share it with two forks!” Katie suggested. The best part? A slice of cake has just 217 calories, so if you split it, it’s just barely over 100 each! You just can’t get better than that.

If you’re skipping the champagne, you can still enjoy these babies. “Made with moist champagne-infused cake and topped with creamy coconut frosting, these cupcakes are perfect for weddings, engagement parties, anniversaries, and especially for Valentine’s Day,” said Diana. “If you love a glass of bubbly then you’ll love these flavorful cupcakes!” And the best part? They’re just 129 calories a pop!
