This year, we'll all be home in the morning on Wednesday. So I thought a quick and early brunch for Valentine's Day would be a special way to celebrate. While I'm still working out the details, here's my rough list of foods for the menu.
Foods I have everything on hand already:
- homemade waffles (I have everything I need to make waffles)
- ham slices (in the freezer leftover from New Year's Day ham)
- sausage patties (I found a pound of breakfast sausage in the freezer this week)
- heart-shaped scones baked in my heart-shaped cast-iron pan, then dusted with confectioner's sugar
- assorted jams and spreads for the scones
- fuji apples, sliced thin (I have a bag of fuji's in the fridge)
Foods I will need to buy before Wednesday:
- fresh strawberries (will need to buy those on Tuesday)
- tofu-raspberry jam dip/spread (I'll buy silken tofu at WinCo tomorrow, then combine with homemade raspberry jam)
It seems wrong to me to not have something chocolatey for Valentine's Day. But I can't think of anything I'd like to make for a brunch food that features chocolate. Any suggestions?
