MORNING!!!
I’m sad that the weekend is over too but seeing as there is nothing we can do about it let’s throw ourselves in to this week with abandon and start thinking about NEXT WEEKEND!!!
As you know it’s Valentine’s Day this weekend and there is really nothing nicer than breakfast in bed on such a day. It’s not the breakfast itself it’s simply the fact that someone allowed you to lay in bed while they went and prepared something for you to eat while you stayed snug under the quilt.
So, until the twins can wait on their father and me (!!) it’s up to Robert the Husband and I to look after each other.
I made heart shaped eggs using a rather super heart shaped silicone mold and cut out heart shaped pieces of toast using a large cookie cutter.
This is a simple breakfast but it screams Valentine’s Day and is fun. Making an effort to curl the butter for the toast you serve is a touch that will not go unnoticed. One of my most favourite things to do is to stay in hotels and the reason for this are the touches they add to the service. Touches like curled butter. LOVE IT!
Know your beverage!
By this I mean that some folk like freshly squeezed juice, others like their coffee made a certain way and then other folks will love their tea ‘builders’ style.
These potatoes are my current breakfast fave and work just as well as hash browns in my opinion. Par boil some cubed potatoes before transferring them to a pan with some olive oil to sauté. Sprinkle dried oregano, dried thyme, salt & pepper and a dash of balsamic vinegar into the pan and coat them. When the potatoes have browned nicely serve immediately.
Do you like the heart shaped egg mold that I have used in this post?
Would you like one along with some other FABULOUS goodies that are perfect for the month of February?
Well, I’ll see you back here tomorrow with my February giveaway reveal.
With love from me to you!

Hi Cherry, I’ve just been reading about this Valentine’s breakfast and thinking I’d like to do the same… it will be in the school holidays so we’ll have time for a proper breakfast. I love making heart-shaped things for Valentine’s and have collected all sorts of heart cooking/baking things over the past few years I was just wondering with the eggs, how many egg rings do you have? Is it just one? And if so, how long do you have to leave the egg in the ring before you can remove the ring and pour in the next egg? I always think a cooked breakfast is one of the hardest things to make successfully because of making sure everything is ready (and still hot) at the same time, without some things being burnt. People say a roast dinner is the hardest but I think that’s a doddle compared to a full English!
