Happy Valentine's Day!

Little Gnorm is such a romantic and gave Ellie Ellie a red rose for valentines! 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY FROM EVERYONE AT ELLIE ELLIE! 

Re-love this Valentines Day

A great valentines idea, a heart wreath made from old red or pink clothing! Perfect for the home to hang up for date night this valentines day!

 

These will look great on your front door or in the house. Simply cut any old red or pink clothes into strips and wrap them up individually, sticking them at the bottom so they don't untangle, then stick to a background shape of your choice (you could make your family's initials) and hang up with ribbon! It would look great with a mixture of pink and red colours too!! They fit perfectly with Ellie Ellie's Re-love ethos!

Delicious Valentine's Day Breakfasts

There's nothing better than a yummy breakfast and Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to experiment with romantic recipes in the kitchen. Whether you are mixing up a feast for your friends, family or your loved on this Valentine's day, here are some yummy ideas for some inspiration!

This is the easiest way to spread love this valentine's day, simply toast some bread and cut out a heart shape and lay it in the frying pan ready to fry your egg!

If your a fan of a big English breakfast, this is a cute idea for heart shaped potatoes to go with your eggs, sausages, bacon and baked beans!

Another alternative is this scrumptious granola mix (Valentine's style) simply using strawberry yogurt, granola and strawberry's. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or if you're on the go!

These spinach and smoked salmon egg muffins are delicious and would be an extra special treat on Valentine's Day! For the easy recipe visit Good Food and get baking!
