Recipes Mom Will Love
Sometimes going out to a crowded restaurant on days like Mother’s Day sounds like a nice idea, but in reality, making Mom something special and celebrating the day at home can be oh-so-much more memorable and enjoyable.
I’ve rounded up some special, yet accessible, recipes Mom will love this Mother’s Day. What is better than saying ‘I love you mom’ with a delicious homemade meal?
Brunch Recipes
Make Ahead French Toast Breakfast Casserole
Raspberry Breakfast Bars. These must be healthy if they have the work breakfast in them….right?
Simple Asparagus Tart. This asparagus tart is made with store bought puff pastry and makes for a show stopping dish on your brunch table.
Crunchy Granola Clusters. If your mom is anything like mom, skip the sticky syrup and soggy pancakes and make her a batch of homemade granola that she can enjoy over yogurt all week long.
Dinner Recipes
Lemon Pepper Chicken with Spinach and Gnocchi. This simple skillet dish has all the fresh May flavours that you crave and makes an easy yet elegant dinner.
Lemon Butter Chicken Skewers are mouthwatering and a perfect option to serve now that the weather is warmer. Fire up the grill and watch your guests go for seconds and thirds.
Airfryer Steak Frites. Why not treat mom to an air fryer and show her how easy and delicious meals can together in no time, with minimal effort and minimal clean up.
Chicken Parmesan with Fennel Salad. Anyone can make this mouthwatering 30 minute Chicken Parmesan recipe with a delightful Fennel Salad. This recipe can be doubled to feed a hungry crowd.
Spring Pea and Mortadella Pasta. A beautiful, bright and fresh spring pasta salad with seasonal peas, salty mortadella and a deliciously garlic pistachio garnish is a lovely Mother’s Day dish that can be prepared and enjoyed by the whole family.
Viral Chickpea and Quinoa Salad. This salad is a perfect addition to any brunch or dinner table. The versatile flavours go with any type of dish.
Bake Blackened Salmon. I get a thumbs up every time I serve this delicious salmon dish. It has a little bit of smokiness, it’s a little tangy and that buttery salmon comes out perfect every time. Add this to your menu!
Sweet Treats
Chocolate Cake. For the chocolate lover in your life, this easy cake can be made quickly and a slice after dinner will delight Mom. Serve alongside fruit salad and you’ve got a perfect dessert.
Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies. Do I need to say more?
Chocolate Avocado Truffles. You won’t believe how delicious these are and made with avocados! These are a delicious treat to gift.
As Mother's Day approaches, take the opportunity to show the special women in your life just how much they mean to you. Creating a day filled with delicious food and heartfelt moments is my favourite way to show my love.
