There are few things in life more luxurious than having breakfast in bed. You don't have to go to a five-star hotel for a leisurely breakfast - you can have it right in your own home.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Buy a sturdy bed tray that doesn't tip over easily. Make sure it is large enough to hold several dishes and other items.
Step2
Shop for ingredients for your favorite breakfast ahead of time.
Step3
Purchase fresh flowers. It adds a nice touch.
Step4
Cancel all morning appointments. Turn off the phone. Make this a morning when you can relax at leisure.
Step5
Prepare some of the ingredients the night before. If possible, set your coffeemaker for 8:30 a.m. (or whenever you get up), so the scent of the fresh brew will wake you up. Set the tray with plates, silverware, cups, and so forth. Use linen napkins.
Step6
Make the bed with fresh sheets before you go to bed.
Step7
Get up in the morning and prepare your breakfast. Take your time.
Step8
Finish setting up the tray. Put the flowers on it. Add the food.
Step9
Arrange the pillows in bed before you get back in. Use several large ones to give your back support. You want to be comfortable as you eat.
Step10
Climb back into bed with your bed tray. Take care not to tip it as you get back into bed.
Step11
Savor your breakfast. Enjoy the food. Sip your coffee slowly. Have a second cup.
Step12
Catch up on your reading. Read the entire "New York Times." Read past issues of your magazines.
Step13
Plan to do this again sometime soon.
