This morning I thought that I would do something nice for "hungry hubby." We both had the morning off, so I decided to be a good wife and serve him some good ole breakfast in bed.
The breakfast in bed routine is something that is so common that it is often overlooked or forgotten about, so I figured I would give it a shot.
When we were on our honeymoon, we had mimosas every morning with breakfast, so I decided I would bring us back to that special time and try out Paula Deen's recipe for Mimosa Punch:
Ingredients
1 (12-ounce) can thawed orange juice concentrate
1 liter club soda
1 to 2 bottles sparkling wine
Directions
Put 1 can cold but thawed orange juice concentrate into a punch bowl or in a large pitcher. Stir to soften. Stir in 4 cups cold club soda. Then add the sparkling wine and stir gently. Pour into Champagne flutes or coupes and serve*.
Then I just made the classic bacon, eggs, and biscuits I know he loves.
I got up very quietly this morning, cooked a quick breakfast, and woke him up with a yummy suprise.
It was very easy to do and I know it made him very happy and meant a lot. Why not show your loved one how special they are by suprising them with breakfast in bed as well?

I like it! I have been keeping up with your blog, and am glad to see that you had holiday treats, along with romantic ideas for cooking. Once again, I am not a cooker, but always wished to do the breakfast in bed thing with my boyfriend. I have never had a Mimosa, and am almost sure that he hasn't either. I am going to try this, but what goes along with it to make it a complete breakfast?
I guess I meant what else would be good with it because you did mention the eggs, bacon, and biscuits?
Thanks for keeping up with my blog. When we drank mimosas on our honeymoon, we usually had bacon, eggs, biscuits, and fruit, so I know it is good with that. Maybe try it with pancakes too. It does not have to just be served for breakfast either, so I am sure it would be good with anything you would normally drink orange juice with. Good luck with your boyfriend, and I hope my recipe ideas have helped impress him, haha.
