Ok, so…raise your hand if you forgot to order takeout on time for Valentine’s Day. Is it just me and Tom, or is there anyone else out there?
I don’t know why, but 2021 seems to be flying by, and by the time I was ready to order a Valentine’s Day meal to go last night, all of my favorite restaurants were sold out. I’m excited for these restaurants because they need all the support they can get right now, but that leaves us with no meal for the big night.
At the end of 2020, Tom and I signed up for Blue Apron, and we ended up loving it. We learned a lot of recipes from it and have added a couple into our regular rotation. The easy Blue Apron recipes + my beloved Always Pan makes cooking at home a breeze: preparing meals is simple, and cleanup isn’t super painful.
Our Place just released their limited edition "Heat" color for the Always Pan, and if I didn’t already own one, I’d buy this color in a heartbeat. It’s bright, sassy, and honestly, a pretty romantic gift IMO for someone who spends a ton of time doing dishes.
Need a last-minute dinner idea for Valentine’s Day? Today, I’m sharing my favorite, delicious recipe that you can make in an Always Pan: Steaks & Brown Butter Sauce.

To speed this recipe up on weeknights, I’m going to be honest with you: we may or may not use instant mashed potatoes. Please don’t hate us; sometimes we’re just exhausted after work, okay? Other than that, the rest of this recipe is super easy, delicious, and quick to make.
