Hearty Valentine's Day Breakfast

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I’m sharing a fun and cute way to enjoy a lovely and hearty (you like my pun there?)breakfast with family or friends!  Here are some tips on creating this Valentine’s Day-themed breakfast. 

1. Get some festive plates/bowls. You really don’t have to break the bank with these. I purchased these cute heart-themed plates and bowls at Walmart for under a dollar each. 
2. Utilize decorative items on the table such as felt hearts of varying shades (as I’ve used here). You can get creative with this and places such as Target, dollar tree, or Walmart will have lots to choose from. 
3. Get some flowers. Red, pink, or white flowers of any kind will be sure to brighten up the table! 
4. And finally you’ll need a satisfying and delicious breakfast! Select your favorite breakfast foods and why not try my fluffy pancake recipe. I seriously think my pancakes may be some of the best out there ;)

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder 
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
1/4 salt 
3 tablespoons granulated sugar 
2 tablespoons melted butter 
2 and 1/2 cups buttermilk 
2 eggs 
1 and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 

Mix the dry ingredients well and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla together. Add the melted butter to the flour.  Next, add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until combined. Do not overmix and lumps are perfectly okay here. Use a griddle cooking plate and scoop about a half cup of batter for each pancake. Cool until golden brown and serve with extra butter and warm maple syrup! Enjoy!!
