50 Shades food ideas for Valentines Day

If you’ve decided to go for the 50 shades theme for Valentines day instead of the Vampire or Witch themes for Valentines day then this is for you.

Since you’re more likely to spend your day under the covers you wouldn’t need a big feast to keep you busy, therefore I have chosen a simple blueberry muffin for breakfast. According to E.L James, Christian Grey wanted Anastasia Steele to eat healthy food so for the dinner I have also chosen a homemade chicken salad and no-bake Cheesecake with fresh ingredients for dessert.

Blue Berry Muffins.

My mother in law recently made these muffins and they were wonderfully soft. She absolutely loves eating them with cream and jam and I thought that that would be a great breakfast option. Who doesn’t like blueberry muffins?

These blueberry muffins are box muffins, so you can just use the instructions on the box, add some fresh blueberries if you like and garnish with whipped cream and strawberry or blueberry jam.

Mmmmm… close enough??

It tasted amazing the only thing is that we were sort of in a rush to go to our picnic and I only kept it in the fridge for about 30 minutes.It was really easy to make too.

For the crust

1 packet tennis biscuits mixed with some melted butter

For the cheesecake

1 cup whipped cream

1 tub Philadelphia cream cheese

2 tablespoons icing sugar but you can add more or less according to taste

For the blueberry syrup

1 cup frozen blueberries

2-3 tablespoons honey.

You have to keep it in the fridge for about an hour.

I hope you give it a try and tell me what you think.
