Valentine’s Day isn’t just an occasion to celebrate love between couples, it’s an opportunity to cherish love of all kinds.
Love for your roommate, who cleans your dishes without complaint while you study for exams. Love for your friends, who listen without judgement and support you through stressful times. Love for siblings, parents and children, who understand you better than anyone else. And yes, love for romantic partners — those celebrating fresh courtship and those marking 50-year anniversaries.
Whatever love you’re celebrating, M&M Food Market in Chilliwack wants to help you spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying each other’s company. With a wide selection of flash-frozen meals packed with flavour and nutrients, it’s easy to prepare a delicious, healthy meal for your Valentine.
- Surf and Turf: Pair bacon wrapped beef filet mignon with easy-peel lobster tail skewers, and crisp steamed vegetables on the side.
- Pub night at home: Take a break from the noise of the pub, but bring the best pub grub home for fun finger food with the family. Try bruschetta, onion rings, chicken wings (M&M offers a dozen different styles and flavours) and mozzarella sticks, or ask the friendly staff at your Chilliwack store for their recommendation!
- Gourmet chicken and asparagus: Pop gourmet chicken Kiev straight from the freezer, add some herb and garlic asparagus and top it off with effortless, mouth-watering mushroom risotto — ready after just five minutes on the stovetop.
Don’t forget dessert
M&M Food Market desserts are the stuff of dreams, and every shopper has a favourite. Rahul Ajwani, who’s grown up shopping and working at his parent’s store, says, “If you don’t have Crème Brûlée on Valentine’s Day, then what are you doing?”
Others stand by the TOO TALL Strawberry Shortcake or the Lavalicious Chocolate Cake, which comes in a two-pack so even lovebirds don’t have to share.
