Even if you lean heavily to the “Hallmark made this holiday up” side of the great debate about Valentine’s Day, you should know that lots of people disagree including the one you may have committed to love, honor, and share the remote with for all eternity.
But before you start stressing about gifts or holiday getaways, remember that it really is the thought that counts. Sweet can also be blissfully simple. Here are some easy breakfast recipes and ideas that will make you make your special person feel the love this Valentine’s Day and any other special day on your calendar.
1. Set the stage.
Nothing says “this was not an afterthought” like being prepared. Show your love you thought at least a day or two ahead by delivering all your yummy treats on a sturdy Breakfast Bed Tray .
2. Kick it up a notch.
You don’t have to be a Casanova or de Bergerac to bring the romance, but if your ability to string together coherent words of love went bye-bye with your epidural, here are some great ideas to help you tell your sweetie just how sweet they are.
