As you get ready for bed, you think to yourself, "I'd really like to do something special tomorrow for <fill in your name of choice here>."
It's easy to show people you care with food.
And there's something about breakfast in bed that really ups the ante.
I guess it's the unexpected nature of it.
You know when you're going to a lunch, or having a dinner party.
But waking up to food -- when you're not expecting it -- really starts the day off on a special note.
My favorite breakfast in bed menu includes pancakes. (And of course, bacon!)
Pancakes are comforting, versatile, and always considered a treat. They're great plain with a simple maple syrup. And with the addition of fruit or a new topping, you can turn them into something extra special.
I'm a huge fan of adding frozen blueberries or chopped up bananas to the batter, or topping the pancakes with chopped strawberries that have been soaking in a little sugar and water.
When you want to show someone you care, pancakes will always do the trick.
So the next time you want to start someone's day off with breakfast in bed, go ahead and get your serving tray out of storage before you go to bed. You've got the perfect recipe for the perfect morning start.
Until our next meal,
