Girl Dinner

What is a “girl dinner?”

It’s a term popularized on TikTok, often used playfully to describe a simple meal assembled without much effort.

My definition of a girl’s dinner is a casual, often aesthetically pleasing meal made with readily available ingredients like cheese, butter, or bread.

It’s essentially a quick and easy meal that doesn’t contain protein and doesn’t meet the needs of most men in the house.

I’ve curated the perfect Girl Dinner Menu and am so excited to share it with you! It’s perfect for your next GNO, Galentines Day, Bridal or Baby Shower, or dinner party!

The Ultimate Girl Dinner Menu

• Garlic Butter Noodles
• Sweet Kiss Bread Bites
• Date Bark
• Dirty Shirleys

The Ultimate Girl Dinner: Sweet Kiss Bread Bites

• Naan Dippers
• Boursin Garlic Spread
• Raspberry Jam
• Hot Honey

Sweet meets savory with these easy, sweet kiss bread bites! The Ultimate Girl Dinner loves bread!

Grab some Naan dippers, top each with Boursin cheese, and add a dollop or a kiss of raspberry jam. If you’re feeling extra, drizzle them with hot honey.

Each bite is a burst of flavor!

If you don’t want to make each piece of bread individually, press the Boursin cheese into a baking dish, add a large raspberry jam heart in the center, and serve it with the naan dippers on the side.

The Ultimate Girl Dinner: Date Bark

If you aren’t on the date trend yet, hop on! Dates are amazing! Not every day does a food trend exceed my expectations, but this viral date bark is a winner.

This trending recipe combines the classic flavors of caramelly dates, almond butter, and chocolate, creating a satisfying and nutritious snack perfect for those sweet cravings.

• Dates: Medjool dates are preferred for their sweetness and texture. Make sure to remove the pits.
• Almond Butter: Use natural almond or even creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture.
• Chocolate: Use any melted chocolate you prefer; mine is milk chocolate!
• Toppings: You can use anything you like here, such as flaky sea salt, sprinkles, nuts, M&Ms, or dried fruit.

1. Using a knife, slice the Medjool dates lengthways on one side and remove the pit. Layer them on a baking sheet and squash them down using a rolling pin.
2. Melt the chocolate by adding it to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time, until smooth.
3. Top the dates with almond butter, melted chocolate, desired toppings, and sea salt. Refrigerate for 2 hours (or freeze for 1 hour), then enjoy! Store chilled for best results.

The Ultimate Girl Dinner: Dirty Shirley

• Sprite or any lemon-lime soda
• Grenadine syrup
• Vanilla sweet cream
• Maraschino cherries

Just like it sounds, this is the Utah version of a Shirley Temple. This Dirty Shirley is a delicious pink drink made with Sprite or any lemon-lime soda, grenadine syrup, and vanilla sweet cream!

You can get fancy with the glass by adding sprinkles to the rim and a fun, twisty straw. Top each one with a maraschino cherry, and enjoy.
