{vegan & love} Avocado and zucchini hearts on tomato sauce with mint potatoes. Today I'll make the main course for a romantic dinner.

Absolutely tricky Romantic dinners are that they almost never run as they are imagined: two relaxed people, an exquisite, multi-course meal, deep glances, sparkling wine, sparkling entertainment and that certain crackle in the air. It almost seems as if the romance would immediately turn around on the heel and disappear again, as soon as one even casually thinks "Today I'll have a romantic dinner." In addition, this capricious creature also reacts extremely allergic to screaming toddlers. No, for all these reasons I'm not really a big fan of this planned romance. Too unpredictable, too fleeting, too frustrating.

Well.

Three blogs were asked to come up with a romantic dinner together. Herb | Head was supposed to take care of the appetizer, Nicest Things was the dessert-fairy, and I should grab the romance bag of tricks for the main course.

Captured, hanged. Romanticism at the touch of a button is difficult. I can only advise you to approach as relaxed and informal as possible to a romantic dinner and not to make the menu too sophisticated. Avoiding stress beforehand is actually the biggest secret for evening romantic togetherness. Oh yes, even more important: too complicated table decoration can lead among other things to embarrassing incidents. In order to be able to enjoy a full romantic after-dinner performance (or at least an average stimulated conversation), one should not plan any heavy or very greasy dishes. But cooking with heart and soul.

I am extremely convinced of the dedication of meals. The love and positive feelings that you invest in cooking in a dish are never in vain, but the best basis for a relaxed, delicious and satisfying meal. Alone, as a couple or as a family. And who knows ... maybe then the romance suddenly creeps into the action quite secretly, silently and quietly through the back door.

By the way, hearts on a plate can not hurt ...
