Here’s a little inspiration to help you create the perfect brunch feast for you mom on Mother’s Day! Plan ahead and you’ll be able to include all of these decadent elements to start her day of appreciation off right!
The perfect cup of coffee
Get out your french press or her favorite brewing method and prepare her a nice cup of her favorite coffee. Heat up some milk or half and half on the stove (if this is something she might enjoy adding her her morning cup of joe) and serve it in a cream pitcher and have it waiting for her to enjoy along with a sugar bowl for that extra touch of elegance. This fancy presentation will show her that you went the extra mile and made the effort to make her feel super special!
Fruit juice cocktail
Take out your fanciest glass. Add equal parts grapefruit juice and orange juice with a splash or cranberry. You can also add a splash of champagne or prosecco and garnish with some mint. Quick, easy and superb!
Blueberry Lemon Muffins
Waking up to the smell of freshly baked muffins will make anyone’s morning! Check out the recipe for these super delicious and refreshing muffins here! You’ll be able to do some prep the day before the feast so that you’ll have plenty of time the morning of the special day to prepare the recipes that you can’t store overnight.
Foolproof Scrambled Eggs
Super fluffy, light and gourmet eggs will be warm and fulfilling touch to your brunch spread. Be sure to use a non-stick skillet and make sure to pay attention to all of Beth’s great advice for creating perfectly fluffy scrambled eggs! You can prepare your egg mixture the evening before you’ll cook these up on the stove to save some extra time.
