Mother's Day Ideas

It's always nice to spoil your mom on Mother's Day. Once in a while when I was a kid we would make a special breakfast for my mom the day before Mother's Day or dinner on Mother's Day. I always loved getting to cook on those occasions. Here are some ideas for the hubby and/or kids to do for Mother's Day:

Breakfast/Brunch Ideas:

• French Toast (buy an uncut loaf of day old bread or make your own bread the day before), scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit
• Quiche, potatoes (O'Brien, american fries, hashbrowns, etc.), and fresh fruit
• Waffles (regular or sweet potato), fresh fruit, and scrambled eggs
• Cinnamon Rolls and fresh fruit
• Cheese Blintzes and fresh fruit
• Assorted Quick Breads/Muffins and fresh fruit

Lunch/Dinner Ideas:

• Mother's Day Picnic - deli meat (ham, turkey, chicken salad, etc.) & cheese croissants, pasta salad, fruit salad and carrots sticks.
• Grilling - Steaks, baked potatoes (or even baked sweet potatoes), bacon wrapped grilled asparagus, etc.
• Roasted Chicken, cheesy mashed potatoes (I always try to keep some instant potatoes on hand because they're fast), steamed veggies, and dinner rolls.
