Will You Be My Valentine?


As we all know, today is Valentine's Day. Normally I'm a huge fan of the Hallmark Holiday since I'm a helpless romantic, but this year I'm technically Valentine-less because Scarlett Johansson hasn't returned my calls or replied to my emails. IT'S FINE, NO WORRIES. I'm sure she's just busy planning for our future.

Anyways, this day got me thinking about what I would do for my Valentine. I feel like I more or less go overboard with this day so obviously there would be flowers, chocolate, dinner, and just a nice day together, but if I was living with my Valentine, I feel like I'd start the day off with a bang via breakfast in bed. I don't know why, but I feel like breakfast in bed is the best thing for Valentine's Day. So if you were my Valentine, here's what could of came your way...


If this is our 1st Valentine's Day then odds are you'd get the classic breakfast.  Nothing wrong with a couple of eggs, some bacon, and toast.  I make this all the time for myself when I'm home in the morning and don't have work, but the thought behind making it for someone else and bringing it to them is where the "awwwww" factor comes in.

A step up from the classic breakfast would be none other than the above picture.  My roommate Dave and I actually collaborated on this breakfast (he made the pancakes), but I could easily surprise someone with this.  A nice stack of blueberry pancakes (for Valentine's Day I'd probably go chocolate chip or banana), scrambled eggs, and bacon.  Something that I need to point out here is that this was no ordinary bacon.  Let's add a little brown sugar to the mix and enjoy some candy bacon!  I have no idea why I don't do that more often for myself.

Last, but certainly not least come steak and eggs.  I feel like I saved this one til the end because it would normally cost the most money when you order it at a diner so I felt like it commanded the last spot.  Either way, steak and eggs is a solid combination.  It's no bacon and cheese, peanut butter and chocolate, or buffalo and ranch, but I'll take it 7 days a week and twice on Sunday.  Eggs always seem to find their way to my plate and a few slices of toast balance out the meal.

All in all I guess a lot of people are missing out on deliciousness.  To those who have someone, enjoy Valentine's Day!  To those like me who are single, enjoy it too!  Instead of buying flowers or chocolate for someone else, you can put that money towards treating yourself!

And to my future girlfriend (Scarlett), I'll get you one way or another.  Next up, surprise dating pizza!
