Mother’s Day is not only a time to celebrate our wonderful moms, but it is also an excuse to indulge in some good food. Like most, if not all holidays, it is common to celebrate around food. Brunch is usually a popular choice on Mother’s Day. Whether you host at your own house or attend a family member’s party, there are a few things to consider when making this day just as special as mom.
Obviously, food is a key component to the celebration. Brunch is pretty versatile, so anything goes. Whether you prefer sweet, savoury or a combination of the two, brunch has got it all. It is totally acceptable to eat eggs and toast, while also enjoying a side of pancakes, muffins, pastries and a cocktail or two. It is pretty much a dream meal!
Get creative by trying out a twist on some old classics. Instead of scrambled eggs, consider making a vegetable and cheese frittata. For a sweet dish, try making a French toast bread pudding, which is extra delicious and indulgent. If your mom loves mimosas, try out some different juices such as grapefruit, mango or pineapple.
Having a spread with sweet and savoury options will keep your guests happy and well-fed. Feel free to throw together a spring salad for a refreshing side dish, as well as any other brunch foods your mom loves.
On top of food, décor can also have a huge impact on an event. You don’t have to throw a huge, over-the-top bash, but a little themed décor is always a nice touch. Setting out fresh flowers will make for an inviting feel and is perfect for spring. A cute tablecloth and beautiful napkins can really pull the table spread together. Mother’s Day brunch is also a fitting opportunity to bring out your decorative plates, serving dishes and bowls.
Lastly, as we all know, the day is about celebrating the woman who brought you into the world and who loves you very much. The most important thing is spending time with family and showing mom how much you care and appreciate her. However, a little delicious food never hurt!
