How are you celebrating Best Friends Day? We hope it's by making these delicious meals for 2.

20 Meals For Two For Best Friends Day

Happy Best Friends Day!

If you haven't noticed, us folks at Homemade Recipes love celebrating holidays. Food holidays, national holidays, consumer holidays, it doesn't matter because to us, a holiday is a holiday (except for Christmas and Thanksgiving which are in a holiday league of their own). This holiday is Best Friends Day and to help you celebrate, we've rounded up delicious meals for two to make for you and your best friend.

As Jonathan Safran Foer once said:

Nothing – not a conversation, not a handshake or even a hug – establishes friendship so forcefully as eating together.

We couldn't agree more so let's celebrate the beauty of friendship with good food and great company!

Treat your best friend to some artisan DIY bath salts with this kit from Grow & Make!

1. Crab, Asparagus & Avocado Omelet

Because nothing is more fun than brunch with your best friend.

Nothing says a hangout better than brunch. Sure, friends do dinner, but it's common knowledge that brunch is way more fun! Start your day off with a brunch for two by making this delicious omelet.

2. Tofu Scramble For Two

Make this scramble for your animal-loving best friend.

Mmm, tofu scramble. On days when I'm feeling adventurous (which is really every day), I like to indulge in some tofu scramble with my best friend – my husband. 🙂

3. Chocolate Soup For Two

Did you know eating chocolate releases oxytocin, aka The Love Hormone?

This salad makes the perfect lunch before a day about town.
