I love my Mama.
The older I get… the more I love my mama.
The farther away I get from being a bratty, insufferable and ungrateful teenager… the more I appreciate my mama.
Phew… I didn’t make it easy on her. Can I make up for those obnoxious years with brunch? I’m pretty sure it can’t hurt.
The key to making mama a Mother’s Day brunch is this: make brunch aaaaaaaand do the dishes. Sure, mama’s like brunch, but I think what they like even more than the food is seeing us kids clean up the kitchen after ourselves. It’s key. It’s shows our dear mama’s that they raised us right… cause they did.
Make brunch. I totally think you should.
You might start off with this super clever quiche.
I’ve even got a crustless quiche recipe for you. Now you really have no excuse not to make breakfast.
Salad at brunch. Mom’s like salad… it’s kinda their thing. Trust me on this one.
A homemade Caesar Salad? Kinda mind blowing delicious.
Let’s keep dessert light and delicious. I love Blackberry Granita with lightly whipped cream. It feels dainty and delicate and is still super simple and delicious.
I think mama’s like it too.
Just don’t forget about the dishes. It’s important. Just think about how many bottles and diapers our moms washed for us. Yea… so no complaining.

Moms are awesome….they have kids…and are married to one too! I have two kids…three if you count my spouse. THAT is why husbands should help the kids with brunch. We totally take care of them all…but why just once a year? ;)

we’re having a cookout on sunday instead of brunch (church goes a little too late for brunch), but I love the idea of quiche! Next time :)

Oh my! Fortunately I’m mama, but I will wait for such a food at least 10 years ;D But, it’s worth waiting! All the best to you and your Mum, Joy :)

I always do the dishes after dinner! Mamma makes it, so why should she clean up? Your menu is awesome. I know my mamma would love it :)

We are having a cookout on Sunday, but I may incorporate some granita! I have never made that before.

As a mama of three, I love dang near everything about this post. Too bad my kids are too young to have the patience for making me brunch and my hubby is under a court order to stay out of the kitchen after the last fiasco (smoke, alarms and eventually a call to our favorite pizza place – it wasn’t pretty). Maybe they can hire a personal chef for the day and hand them this menu?
joythebaker
haha! under court order to stay out of the kitchen!? hilarious.
