Valentine’s Day Dinner Ideas

By ll_york | February 1, 2022

Staying in this Valentine’s Day? This doesn’t mean you can’t have a special evening or enjoy delicious food, you can and avoid restaurant waits and talking over a crowd! Spending quality time together in your newly renovated kitchen definitely won’t disappoint. P.S. If you’re looking to go all out for your partner, you could even gift them a kitchen renovation!

Don’t forget to bring some candles and flowers to your kitchen before you try these irresistible Valentine’s Day dinner ideas:

Spinach salad with bacon roses and strawberry hearts

Start off with a light, festive salad filled with goodies. Grab some fresh spinach, roll strips of bacon into roses, and top with heart tomatoes, feta, and your favorite dressing. Try a homemade creamy avocado dressing and candied pecans to really go the extra mile.

Chicken tikka alfredo

Who doesn’t love pasta?! For the couples looking to try something new, try this twist on the classic chicken alfredo. This simple but flavorful mixture of greek yogurt, spices, and onions will be sure to impress. We will warn you, it can likely become a weekly meal.

Chocolate fondue

Of course you can never go wrong with chocolate covered strawberries, but doing it yourself is so much more fun! Bring out some strawberries, raspberries, pineapple and even pretzels to dip into a bowl of melted chocolate. You can even make the chocolate pink and add sprinkles for the brag-worthy Instagram post!

We couldn’t be more pleased with our room addition and pool. York Companies didn’t just build what we wanted, they took the time to offer suggestions to help us get the most out of our room and outdoor living space. Their crews are professional and knowledgeable. We plan to use York again in the near future to remodel our bathroom. It’s refreshing to work with someone who listens and understands your vision, builds upon it, and makes it a reality. Thank you York Companies… We love it!

“Rich & I were so happy with the entire process. We had owned pools at two previous houses, but this is our first fiberglass pool. We chose to work with Kevin York because of his professionalism & ability to work with our schedule. We interviewed four pool builders & decided on Kevin after our first meeting. We were particularly impressed that he had entered in to this business because he wanted a fiberglass pool in his own yard & wanted someone who specialized in this type of pool installation. From start to finish & with several contract changes requested by us, Kevin & his staff kept us informed & answered any questions that arose. We can’t wait to open our pool this spring & Charlotte will be the first one to get swimming lessons from me, Nana…though not the last as we are expecting two more new grandchildren late this summer. Thanks!”

Pools by York installed a fiberglass pool for one of our customer’s in Leawood. The installation and coordination was smooth and quick. There was no hold ups on the project except for the weather. The site was left clean when completed. Our customer said that Pools by York was easy to work with and the communication between the parties was very good. Thanks again for a job well done!

Tracy Hall, Covenant Homes

We decided to purchase a pool and so I went out to pool websites and put in inquiries. I got two phone calls out of the 6 inquiries I emailed. York responded immediately. The other contact took two weeks to respond. When York came to my house, he was wonderful with my dogs and my five million questions. The other company was uncomfortable with my dogs. I worked with both companies to get two quotes. The quotes were different but the key piece was that when I called York with questions they responded in 24 hours. When I decided to sign, he came out and he we signed that night. That was just the beginning of a wonderful relationship. The crew who installed the pool were amazingly kind to my children. Specifically my 13 year old who would watch them and ask them questions and they would stop and joke with him and then back to work. The biggest piece that shocked me was when York left – my yard looked wonderful – they did a tremendous job and there was a wonderful pool left behind.

Kevin and his crew were easy to work with and we were very happy with the end product. When doing outside construction, things will come up that were not expected, but Kevin was always reasonable and fair, which was a breath of fresh air. I would highly recommend York if you want the job done right.

Phil & Rebecca

We wish to thank you for the work your company has performed on our residence in Lenexa. During our summer get -togethers, we’ve had guests with very discerning eyes pay compliments on the deck you constructed several years ago. Last summer’s carpentry work and paint job were done in a timely, economical, and professional manner. You have always provided us with good advice and fair quotes. Your workers have been respectful and on the ball. We hope to use your group for any future needed work. Here’s wishing that you have plenty of success in the coming seasons.

Ed & Maribeth

We installed a fiberglass pool at our home 7 years ago, and the pool has been virtually maintenance free. Meanwhile our friends who installed a gunite pool around the same time, have had their pool surface repaired 2 or 3 times. We are in the process of building a new home and we will be installing a fiberglass pool there as well! Thanks for your work!

Scott A. in Prairie Village

We were pleased with the work completed by MY Contracting. They work showed craftsmanship, was done on time and met all of the conditions we agreed upon. We were impressed by the follow up as well. A small issue needed an adjustment after the project was completed and paid for; as soon as we contacted MY Contracting they came back and made the adjustment. You don’t always see that kind of commitment to quality and customer care. We would certainly use them again and have recommended them to our friends.
