How does some restoration, relaxation and reconnection with your partner sound?
How about four hours of it on a day off, in bed!?
Here's how to create a stay-date, in minutes, that rivals one of the most romantic dates you've EVER been on.
Remember these three ingredients! Sweet A parfait Sexy (you) and Savory (An Italian Fritatta)
Sweet:
A French Parfait: Layer in this order, in a wine glass or small water glass, chopped fruit tossed with fresh mint, low fat vanilla yogurt, more minty fruit, another layer of yogurt and a handful of crunchy granola or cereal on top.
Sexy:
You. You are sexy. Just know it. Take a shower. Do some extra dental hygiene and splash on your perfume or cologne. Don't forget nice bedclothes, robe or hey, why not go shirt less-guys and let the lady wear your button down for breakfast in bed.
Savory
Italian Fritattas are a budget friendly treat you can whip up in 5 minutes using leftovers, 4 eggs and cheese. Organic,cage free eggs cost only .30cents each!
Bring to Bed: Movies, The Newyorker, A good book, A Yoga DVD, Cava - A Sparkling Spanish wine, Coffee, Parfait and Fritatta
Bacon Mushroom Fritatta
You can make it the day before and serve room temp.
Preheat your over to 350 degrees.
4 eggs whisked with 3 TB water
One and 1/2 handful ls of cheese (use a blend of mozzarella/Parmesan/provolone)
Two handfuls of sliced mushrooms - pick a variety
One handful of chopped yellow onion
2 TB olive oil
3 strips of cooked bacon
salt and pepper
Add anything else you think would make it tasty? Hmmmm....what have you got in the fridge?
In a pan, with 2 TB of olive oil, saute the onions and mushrooms with a pinch of salt and pepper on med-low heat for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk the eggs and water and blend in one handful of cheese. Set aside.
Prepare a baking dish by spreading a little olive oil on the bottom of your baking dish (be creative - many vessels will work).
Next, pour sauteed mushrooms in baking dish, then pour egg and cheese mixture over it. Top with last 1/2 handful of cheese.
Place on top rack and bake 20 minutes until it poofs up and the top is a gorgeous golden brown.
You will be so pleased with yourself!
Enjoy.
