After a good night's sleep, the perfect breakfast

If breakfast is the most important moment of the day why not making it special preparing it for your partner?
Who, just awaken and still lying in bed, would not like to find a tray full of mouth-watering "sweets" without even making the effort to get up and make coffee?
Who would not want to be served and revered since the early hours of the day? A nice romantic breakfast will definitely be a pleasant surprise!

Very often work and daily tasks overwhelm us like a hurricane during the span of the week, leaving little room for intimate moments. So we just have the weekend to relax and enjoy a bit of peace and tranquility by devoting a little more time to the couple. And a nice romantic breakfast is the way to start the day with a smile, to make peace after an argument, to pamper yourself after a hectic week and stay a little more under the sheets.
Indulge in this "vice" at least once a week should be a commitment to respect assiduously, able to meet and enhance the complicity between the couple. Below you will find small tips and delicious recipes, great ideas that will create an unforgettable romantic breakfast!

1. Required

First, buy the ingredients to prepare everything at least a day earlier and avoid going shopping in a grocery directly with your lover, otherwise it would not be a surprise! Indispensable to transport breakfast, is a nice large tray with high sides to avert the possibility of overthrowing all that you have prepared with great care.

2. Alarm clock

To prepare a good romantic breakfast you should get up half an hour before.
Set the alarm clock by putting a lower sound, but please, do it only if the person you love has deep sleep or you risk not only to wake her\him up but to blow the surprise, too.

3. Romantic atmosphere

Breakfast in bed is a special moment and the main rule is to taste it slowly, minute by minute. A ticket or a detail for your / or him / her that you know would appreciate, such as the preferred weekly publication , a flower , his background music , will help to create that special atmosphere .
And do not forget ... romantic breakfast is served strictly with a kiss!

Then if, instead of a croissant or a prepackaged cake, we prepare something delicious with our hands, the surprise will acquire a different flavor. In this regard we propose two love recipes really simple and tasty.

PROCEDURE FOR
THE PREPARATION OF A CHOCOLATE MUFFIN

In the first bowl place all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa and baking powder. Mix well.

In the second bowl put, instead, all the wet ingredients: melted butter (at room temperature), eggs and milk.
Stir.

Put together the two mixtures. Mix everything well, add dark chocolate chips and pour into muffin tins, filling them 3/4 full.

Before baking add on each surface other chocolate chips and bake in preheated oven at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

PROCEDURE FOR
THE PREPARATION OF
A ROMANTIC CAPPUCCINO

Who said that you can enjoy a really creamy cappuccino only in a café?
To prepare some excellent ones, you need simple ingredients:
- whole milk (full of proteins, more than semi-skimmed one, provides a soft, dense foam);
- sweetened coffee at will;
- a jar with lid and a lot of energy!

To make the foam, take a simple glass jar to be filled with about a third of the milk and close it with its cover. Shake it vigorously for at least 30 seconds; then remove the lid and heat the jar in the microwave for another 30 seconds.

Add the milk foam to the coffee previously poured into a large cup, and you are done! You can customize your cappuccino using a toothpick to form a heart directly on the milk foam or even stencils pouring on the surface some cocoa or cinnamon.
