We all know that dinner on the town for Valentine’s Day is amateur hour, and few of us have the luxury to lounge under the covers all day.  The perfect solution: ‘breakfast in bed’ for dinner.  We asked the amazing party planner and gastro-genius Annie Campbell to cook up this Valentine’s meal for a cozier affair: dinner with her husband Greg. Annie and Greg normally cook and serve together, whether at home or for their catering business, so the romantic holiday is a great chance for them to get out of the kitchen, and into the bedroom. This French-inspired menu focuses on the savory side of breakfast (after all, it is dinner!).  Though slightly intimidating, crepes couldn’t be simpler and are the perfect vessel for all of your favorite fillings.  The best part is that everything can be made in advance and assembled last minute to maximize time with your sweetheart.  Plus, a frisee salad is a great excuse for bacon & eggs.  And it wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day unless we started with some bubbly and ended with ococoa chocolates—plus we love the way the printed menu feels like a sweet Valentine’s Day card a la Amy Blessing’s DIY!  Try the yummy recipes for a ham & Gruyere crepes and frisee salad, found below, and check out Annie’s blog  for her classic champagne cocktail recipe. Happy Valentine’s Day!
