When we think of Valentine’s Day, we automatically think of a romantic one-on-one dinner. Candles, champagne, chocolate… We often forget that it is a full-day affair, and that you can get started on the lovely gestures as soon as daylight hits.

Are you looking to up the romantic factor this year? Good. So get up early, and make your better half breakfast in bed. Cover all your bases: soothing music in the background, flowers, freshly squeezed orange juice, a nice cup of coffee. Cushions and a cozy housecoat. Sweet nothings and kisses on the neck. Comfort. Euphoria. Happiness.

To really melt their heart, try this chocolate French toast. With a dollop of strawberry Greek yogurt, it simply can’t be beat on this love-filled day.
