Cinco de Mayo may be tomorrow, but there’s another holiday right around the corner: Mother’s Day! Yes, that very important holiday where we celebrate the women in our lives. The women who took care of us from birth through those awful teenage years and yes, even into adulthood. I mean, let’s be honest, don’t you… Continue reading Blueberry French Toast Casserole

Lemon-lime Pudding Cake
I love breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day… or so they say. But it’s still not my favorite meal. No, my favorite meal, or maybe course is a better term, has got to be dessert! I love a rich, sweet dessert. Doesn’t matter if it’s fruit or chocolate. As long as it’s… Continue reading Lemon-lime Pudding Cake
Gluten-Free Eggs Benedict
This Sunday is Mother’s Day. But this year, Mother’s Day will be unlike any other any of us have ever experienced. See, in the past, we’ve taken our moms to nice restaurants for beautiful brunches with mimosas. We’ve sent them to spas for relaxing massages. We’ve taken them to hotels for a wonderful weekend of… Continue reading Gluten-Free Eggs Benedict
The Rose Cocktail
Earlier this week I talked about how breakfast, whether it be in bed or at a restaurant, is almost always part of the Mother’s Day festivities. The other thing that almost always goes with Mother’s Day are flowers. I love getting a fresh bouquet of flowers from my men. Sometimes they’re sunflowers, sometimes they’re tulips, I… Continue reading The Rose Cocktail
Egg & Sausage Casserole
Mother’s Day and breakfast… those two things go together like ham and eggs or brunch and mimosas. For as long as I’ve known this holiday, I’ve always known that breakfast (or brunch) was a part of it. It all started when I was a child and made my own mother breakfast in bed. And that… Continue reading Egg & Sausage Casserole
White Sangria
When most people think of sangria, they think of wine mixed with fruit, but the classic sangria has a little more oomph. A classic sangria is made up of wine and fruit, but also has hard alcohol. Like I said, oomph. A red sangria usually has red wine and brandy and is ideal for the… Continue reading White Sangria
Ham & Cream Cheese Scramble
I love going out for breakfast. I usually get something off the griddle like pancakes or French toast, but every so often all I want is a big batch of scrambled eggs and bacon. It’s mornings like those that made me think of this delicious treat that’s easy to make and perfect for Mom on… Continue reading Ham & Cream Cheese Scramble
Blueberry Blintzes
Since Mother’s Day is Sunday, I wanted to make something that my mom used to make me, and is special enough to make your mom on her special day. They’re blueberry blintzes. Every spring and summer when blueberries came in to season my mother and I would go to the farmer’s market and get baskets… Continue reading Blueberry Blintzes
Cooking Tools for Mom
Last fall I did a gift post for the holidays and it was so much fun, I thought I’d do another one for that other popular holiday coming up, Mother’s Day. If your mom is anything like mine, she loves to cook. My mother is actually where I get my love for cooking. See, Mom… Continue reading Cooking Tools for Mom
Bellini
There’s no cocktail more popular on Mother’s Day than the Mimosa, and while it’s a delicious brunch or breakfast choice, there’s a champagne cocktail I like even more. The Bellini. The Bellini is a champagne based cocktail that uses peach nectar instead of orange juice. While orange juice is much easier to come by (you… Continue reading Bellini
Chocolate Chex French Toast
As I’m sure you know, Sunday is Mother’s Day; and while it’s traditional to go out to a restaurant for brunch to celebrate, its easier and more kid friendly to make a nice breakfast at home. Maybe even serve it to Mom in bed. What can you make that’s both kid-friendly and special for Mom?… Continue reading Chocolate Chex French Toast
