We typically don’t go out on Valentine’s Day for dinner. The restaurants are always too crowded and the prix fix menus are too pricey. Instead, we pick a recipe, like this cheesy lobster orzo, that feels like a restaurant meal but is easy to make at home.
This dish was inspired by a visit to a restaurant in Philadelphia a few years ago. We were at a party and they were passing around little spoons of orzo macaroni and cheese. I fell in love instantly and knew I needed to make it at home.
This version has large chunks of lobster added in. You can easily substitute crab, shrimp, or leave out the protein all together. Either way, this dish will be delicious.
The best combination for a cheesy orzo recipe, in my opinion, is a mix of white cheddar, Parmesan, and shredded Gruyere. I’ve also made this with Jarlsberg in place of the cheddar and it was equally yummy.
Of course, no Valentine’s dinner or date night meal is complete without some delicious desserts to end the meal. Be sure to check out some of these super yummy options:

Cheesy lobster orzo is a delicious, restaurant worthy meal that you can easily make at home.
With game day coming up in mere weeks, it is time to start thinking about what to munch on during the commercial breaks. If I am being completely honest, I only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials and to eat all the yummy food.
While I know we won’t have a part this year, I will definitely be making tons of finger foods anyways and these Banh Mi sliders will for sure be on the menu.
Technically, Banh Mi is a Vietnamese word that means bread. In Vietnamese cuisine, it usually refers to a sub like sandwich served on a baguette style roll.
Clearly, these banh mi sliders are not completely authentic but they the flavor profile is very similar to most banh mi sandwiches. Most of the ones I have had feature either sliced or pulled pork and so I went with pulled pork for the sliders.
One of the key components of the traditional Vietnamese sandwich is pickled daikon, carrots and crisp cucumbers. That is quite a lot to put onto a little slider so I focused on the cucumbers. They are quick pickled so they retain the pickled flavor but stay really crisp.
If you prefer to do daikon or carrots (or both!), you can totally make that swap.
This banh mi slider recipe uses the basics from my banh mi tacos and just makes them into little handheld pieces of deliciousness instead of putting into tortillas.

Banh Mi sliders are the perfect little hand held snack for parties! Packed with flavor, these mini sandwiches are perfect for so many occasions.

There is a conversation that happens all the time in our house when it comes time for dinner.

So, to solve the problem in my household, I make one pot pizza pasta and meet in the middle.
