Valentine’s Day seems to have crept up on us so quickly this year. Since it falls on a Wednesday we planned for some quick but special treats to start the day off for your loved one……otherwise plan for a breakfast of note this coming weekend!
The Mama Africa Valentines Bircher Muesli made with AMASI is so delicious that we polished off the bowl that we had prepped for the photo shoot and the Language of Love French toast with heart shaped bacon and syrup also hit the spot….we hope that you enjoy these too, for TWO!
Happy Valentine’s everyone
