What’s more romantic for Valentine’s Day than a date night at home? Ok, we bet you can think of a few things, but why not skip the stress of a big night out and ditch the hectic restaurant for a romantic dinner in with your S.O.? We teamed up with Hunt’s®tomatoes and Alexia® Foods to break Valentine’s Day tradition in favor of cooking up a beautiful and easy meal at home so you can spend more time enjoying your food than prepping it – but then again, that’s part of the fun too, right?!

We used Hunt’s®tomatoes Petite Diced Tomatoes to make one DELICIOUS (and super quick!) Bruschetta recipe. We feel especially good about using Hunt’s® tomatoes, as they’re are grown in sunny California and canned within hours of being picked. Here’s how we made our favorite app. Make sure and check out Laura in the Kitchen’s perfect V-Day recipe for a simple dinner to go with!
