Love is in the air, everywhere we look around and I know you what lovers porridge for breakfast!!! This year Valentine’s day is on a Tuesday so not the most romantic day of the week. If you are a busy couple like myself and my husband Howard there may not be any romantic meals in the evening. Unless, of course you have been clever and you got yourselves a babysitter for the evening. It may be a normal day for you.
Although you may want to make your husband/wife/partner a delicious breakfast to kick start their day. Chocolate and roses are a yummy combination and this porridge is a brilliant dish to wake up the system. Both chocolate and roses are packed with flavonoids, antioxidants, and immunity-boosting vitamins and minerals. It means this is healthy and tasty. Perfect for your lover or just for you.

My Chocolate and Rose Porridge recipe I find to be an easy way to make sure I have breakfast in the morning. It’s delicious and it can be changed to suit your tastes or whatever you fancy on the day. When my husband is home and he wants to eat this for breakfast I simply double up on the ingredients. It is so simple and well worth a try. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
