Happy Valentine’s Day.

Tomorrow everything is around…LOVE…so I thought to share with you my ideas for my own Valentine’s Day with my beloved husband.

Which you might find useful and that can make this beautiful and unique lovers day, even more beautiful.
I decided this year because it is a not working day to give a special love vibe throughout the day.

From our morning wake up to our sweet goodnight…
So let’s get started…

What more beautiful from morning awakening with breakfast in bed!

This Valentine’s Day, surprise your sweetie with a romantic breakfast in bed.

From pancakes, to French toast, your favorite breakfast recipes get a festive makeover for the holiday of love.

I thought to cook something with no much time for preparation but to contains favorite sweet tastes…for my beloved one nothing says love more than chocolate, so I decide to make..

Nutella stuffed French toast

Ingredients

1 cup sliced strawberries
2 teaspoons sugar
Juice of half a lemon
4 slices of bread (I used Italian)
About 1/2 cup Nutella
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
butter (for the pan)
Powdered sugar for serving

Directions

1. Combine strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss to coat and set aside to macerate at room temperature.
2. Spread desired amount of Nutella over 2 slices of bread. Top each with the remaining bread. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
3. In a shallow dish or pie plate, whisk together the egg and milk. Whisk in the melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the heated skillet and swirl to coat.
4. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, soaking for 30 to 40 seconds per side. Add the slices to the pan in a single layer, taking care not to crowd the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until light golden brown. Flip and continue cooking an additional 1-2 minutes. Add more butter as needed.
5. Transfer to a plate, dust with powdered sugar, then top with strawberries. Serve immediately.

Breakfast in bed for us isn’t complete without champagne.

This strawberry cocktail recipe I think is perfect for the occasion to accompany our breakfast in bed for the Valentine’s Day…

Spa at Home

One of my favorite shows that I present on the TV was the, How to turn your home bathroom into a Spa and it is certainly something that will not be missing from our day program for the Valentine’s Day, as we both adore the feeling we get from a relaxing bath. But for Valentine’s Day I consider to add details that will make the difference.
Relaxing music, scented candles, fresh flowers, crystals with positive energy and rejuvenation vibrations and a choice of a unique bathroom that will leave our skins soft and fragrance for the rest of the day…the best choice for that is my..
