Let me interupt the Valentine’s Day Breakfast in Bed for Two series to bring y’all a little something chocolate-y.  I made this rich cake for my Nutella-holic friends over at Bella Nutella.  It’s a gussied up version of Eclair Cake: vanilla bean Frangelico pastry cream layered between graham crackers smeared with Nutella.

To get the recipe for this dessert (which I think you should eat on the couch with your Valentine straight out of the pan with one fork), click here.

Next up in the Breakfast in Bed For Two series is a delicious, rich and indulgent smoothie.  By delicious, I mean rum.  By rich, I mean rum.  And by indulgent, I mean rum.  All before noon.

I always try to take care of you health nuts out there.  Last year, I made y’all mulled wine poached pears.  This year, I’m bringing you a luscious smoothie that won’t make you feel guilty, because it contains spinach.  If a green smoothie coming towards your sweetheart on a tray would make him jump out of bed and run in the other direction, just leave out the spinach.  But, really, y’all, you can’t taste the spinach at all.  So, why not fill your loved one with 1 cup of spinach before lunchtime and smile the rest of the day at your good deed?
