Breakfast in bed is one of the most romantic statements you can make on Valentine's Day, and you don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to get it all prepared. A simple frittata can be the perfect start to your sweetie's day. "...Decorate a tray with rose petals, red hots, chocolate kisses, and whatever special treats you have to make the morning memorable and a little cheesy," Michel Murphy, owner of The Dish said.
