Cabbage and Broccoli Slaw with Vinegar Dressing
This cabbage and broccoli slaw with vinegar dressing recipe is a light version of coleslaw because it doesn't have a heavy mayonnaise dressing—but it's still delicious! It's best if refrigerated overnight.
Fresh Raspberry Sauce
This raspberry sauce is so beautiful and delicious, you and your Valentine may not even need the cake. This will absolutely work even if you use frozen raspberries, but nothing compares to the flavor of the sauce if you can somehow find and use fresh raspberries.

But it's really not that hard either; and certainly simpler than flying to Paris, which is the only other way to enjoy these amazing pastries. This croissant recipe, with a helpful video, was adapted from one by Bruno Albouze, from The Real Deal (which he is).
