This year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday. That’s great news for those who enjoy leisurely weekend brunches. Those who choose to eat out on Valentine’s Day are sure to be treated to some extra sweet offerings. Meanwhile, those who prefer to cook up their own Love Day brunch dishes will be treated to extra time that they wouldn’t have if Valentine’s Day fell on a weekday.
If you plan to surprise your sweetheart with a homemade Valentine’s Day brunch, then consider adding these special dishes to the menu:
BACON AND SPINACH BISCUIT QUICHE

8-ounce package light cream cheese softened

Rough chop spinach.
Crumble cooled bacon.
In medium size bowl beat cream cheese, milk and eggs until smooth. Stir in Swiss cheese, spinach, onions and mushrooms.
In a greased 9 by 13-inch baking dish add split biscuits to cover bottom. Sprinkle half of bacon over biscuit dough. Pour cream cheese mixture over bacon. Sprinkle remaining bacon on top of cream cheese mixture.

CINNAMON PUFFS

1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (8-ounce) can crescent rolls

1/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk

Dip marshmallows, one at a time, in melted butter.
Roll marshmallows in cinnamon sugar mixture and roll up in crescent triangle (roll from pointed end first). Squeeze edges together tightly.
Dip bottom of roll in butter and place in muffin pan.
Place muffin pan on cookie sheet (because marshmallows will melt and may ooze out).

In the meantime, make glaze by combining all of the ingredients in a bowl.
When puffs are done, remove from oven, place on a plate and serve with glaze.
