It happens to the best of us. Valentine’s Day is just another one of those holidays that slips our mind at the last second. So, what can you do to make up for it? One of the best ways to make up for a lack of Valentine’s festivities is, always, food! Here are our top 4 belated Valentine’s Day brunch ideas for the procrastinating couple, or for us gals who deserve to treat ourselves!
1. Belgian Waffles and Strawberry Syrup
Belgian waffles are always a classic, top ‘em off with fresh strawberry hearts, strawberry syrup, and lots of whipped cream, and you’re in there!
2. Strawberry & Nutella French Toast Roll Ups
This one sounds more difficult than it is, make some french toast (toast some egg soaked cinnamon bread, you’ve got this), flatten it out, and smear it with nutella, toss in some fresh strawberries, and roll her up! Super festive and super yummy!
3. Raspberry Smoothie Bowls
Blend 1 cup of raspberries, coconut milk, a banana, ice, almond butter, and 1 tsp of honey together until it’s as thick or as smooth as you’d like. Then, top off your bowl with some vanilla granola, strawberries, raspberries, and some shredded coconut. Adorable and delish!

4. Red Velvet Crepes
This is a recipe for some of us more. . . experienced home chefs! First, you’re gonna need two bowls (One for wet ingredients, one for dry). Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa powder in one, then milk, vanilla, melted butter, sugar, and red food coloring in the other! Next, combine both for the perfect crepe batter! Remember, crepes are just flat pancakes, so don’t overdo it with the amount of batter you put on the skillet. Could make for some chunky crepes, and no one wants that! Then, top with anything from chocolate drizzle to sliced fruit!
