Valentine’s Day Breakfast Board
Timeless and romantic, breakfast in bed is a simple act of service that says I love you. This Valentine’s Day Breakfast Board brings heart-shaped waffles, crispy bacon, sausage, fresh berries, mini chocolate donuts and sweet toppings together on one tray. If you love my Waffle Board or my Easy French Toast Board, this is the sweetest version yet.
Moreover, it works for every schedule. If dinner is not possible because of work shifts, a beautiful breakfast is the perfect way to celebrate. Equally important, Valentine’s Day is about love in every form, so share it with friends, family or your partner.
In essence, it is a morning made special. Add fresh flowers, plan ahead the night before, clean the kitchen after cooking, and pour mimosas from my Holiday Mimosa Bar.
