A guest post from our friend Shaun Myrick
This weekend, it?s all about mom.? Mother?s Day is here and for so many of us, it?s a day to show mom how much she is loved.? It?s also a day for friends and family.
I love throwing a beautiful and fresh brunch for Mother?s Day.? Brunch doesn?t have to be a big ?spend all day in the kitchen? thing.? If you know me, you know that I like to keep gatherings stylish yet casual.? Here are some ways you can create a memorable brunch without relying on burned?store-bought waffles, bacon and weak coffee.
A good Mother?s Day brunch can be extra special if it?s homemade, and the menu doesn?t have to be hard to prepare to have that ?wow? factor.? Mom can relax all morning in sweats if she wants, sipping a nice cup of coffee or tea.? Get the kids involved and have them prep the day and set up.? Set a nice spring-inspired table with lots of tulips or mom?s favorite flowers as the theme.
Squeezing fresh oranges rather than buying orange juice is a nice and frankly, simple touch.? Plus, for the grown ups, add some sparkling wine and voila! You?ve got that quintessential brunch staple, the Mimosa.
Eggs Benedict is a classic brunch meal and I?ve come up with a healthier ? and easier to prepare version that is sure to be a hit.? Kids love to assemble the ingredients on the English muffins.? And guess what?? My version eschews the Hollandaise sauce ? it?s a foolproof Eggs Benedict recipe where you won?t?have to scramble because, ?The sauce is broken.?
Whatever your plan, just remember to make this Sunday memorable and special for mom.
How good is that?
