Moms are pretty awesome people. I don’t think it’s a secret to anyone that I think my momma is pretty much the best momma out there. She’s my best friend, my biggest fan (well, along with Daddy), and refuses to let me do anything half-way. I couldn’t ask for better. (I love you, Momma!)
Maybe you aren’t as close to your mom. That’s ok – I bet if you think for just a minute you can come up with someone in your life who has served as a sort of adopted/foster mom at some point or another. Heck, I can come up with several – my mom’s best friend, my best friend’s mom, and my Spanish host mom all come to mind immediately. (I love all of you, too!)
Whether you are celebrating your biological mother or someone who has stood in as a mother for you over the years, this Sunday is a great opportunity to make them something special to show them how much they mean to you. Here are a few ideas to get you started – I’m sure Mom would be delighted to have you fix any of these dishes for them!
For breakfast/brunch:
Fruit and Almond Baked Oatmeal
Sweet Onion, Asparagus and Goat Cheese Quiche
For later in the day:
Mushroom Ravioli with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce
Thick and Crusty Chicken Pot Pie
For dessert:
Deep Dark Mocha Cupcakes with Coffee Buttercream Frosting
Lemony Greek Yogurt Cheesecake
I love you, too, baby. You make being a momma a joy.
Funny you should post this… I’m making two of these recipes this weekend for our Mother’s Day extravaganza. After this weekend, I’ll have made 4 recipes from this page alone, let alone the countless others I’ve tried. SWEET POTATO SCONES! You can see why I’m so excited to start using your cookbook that you made for us…
I love everything about you, this website, and your food. It’s all just phenomenal.
You’re just the sweetest
I can’t wait to hear how the extravaganza goes!
Lemony Greek Yogurt Cheesecake for me please! I’m going to have to refer my kids over here. They want to make me Mothers Day Breakfast but keep asking me if I like ketchup?! lol. Great recipes!
Well…how DO you feel about ketchup??
Ketchup is just fine, and though it shames my husband deeply, I do in fact enjoy a bit with scrambled eggs from time to time. I fear admitting that to my twin 4-year-olds and almost 6-year-old, however, could lead to a ketchup-themed meal I’ll not soon forget.
Oh wow, you’ve got a lot of delicious dishes here! I’m loving the Greek yogurt cheesecake – sounds so yummy and looks so pretty too!
You’ve got one lucky mom! Everything looks amazing!
