This year, Valentine’s Day lands just days before Mardi Gras, which means romance comes with a little extra lagniappe. This Hearti Gras–inspired meal plan pulls together ad-favorite ingredients, local flavor, and a touch of indulgence without overcomplicating your night.
And because no Valentine’s celebration is complete without something heartfelt, we’re sharing a downloadable set of Hearti Gras greeting cards you can print at home and pair with dinner or flowers.
Start with a centerpiece that does the heavy lifting:
Keep the table simple with candles, beads, and one of our printable Hearti Gras cards tucked at each place setting for a playful Mardi Gras-meets-Valentine’s touch.

Gently poach lobster tails in butter until just tender, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm with a simple Cajun-spiced dipping sauce made in part from mayo, Cajun seasoning, and lemon juice.
Choose your favorite cut (or mix and match):

Season simply, sear hard, and finish with butter. Let the quality of the meat shine; this is the star of the plate.
From the ad:
Roast until tender-crisp in oil or butter and finish with a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. This side dish is light, fresh, and a perfect balance to the richness of the steak.
Serve your steaks alongside creamy Parmesan grits for a distinctly Louisiana touch that feels both comforting and elevated. Rich, smooth, and perfect for soaking up every bite, grits bring balance to the plate without stealing the spotlight.
From the ad:
Slice strawberries and serve alongside small wedges of King Cake for a dessert that feels festive and Valentine-appropriate.
Choose your vibe:
Rosé keeps things light, champagne leans romantic, and cabernet pairs beautifully with steak.
Download one of our Hearti Gras greeting cards, print it at home, and pair it with flowers or dessert. It’s a small touch that makes the night feel intentional and very NOLA.
