7 Romantic Recipes for Breakfast-in-Bed with Your Valentine

Nutella Stuffed Strawberry French ToastOne of my favorite Valentine's Day traditions is breakfast in bed. Admittedly, it hasn't be a regular tradition since my daughter was born, but we still try to do it when I can. We've become somewhat accustomed to bedtime breakfasts and developed a few favorite things. Here are the dishes I swear are PERFECT for breakfast in bed. Make them in the morning, load up a tray with tons of food and a flower and head upstairs for a wonderfully romantic breakfast!
