I’m a mom, so I can say this with authority: Moms Love Brunch!
Let me tell you why!
Mother’s Day Brunch means:
- We don’t have to cook and we’d BETTER NOT have to clean up.
- For the love of God! Someone finally let us sleep in. That’s all we ever want, am I right? Well.. that and a day alone with a good book and a box of chocolates.
- YOU get to decide if we want savory OR sweet for brunch. That’s usually the hardest decision EVER. But whatever you feed us must be something WE like. It’s our day after all!
If you’re a mother and you want brunch time awesomeness this Sunday, please direct this post to your family. If you want to make brunch for your mother, ask her her thoughts on eating in bed and then take it from there. Breakfast in bed is kind of a tricky thing…especially when there’s maple syrup involved. I remember it being a bit awkward when I brought my mom french toast in bed one Mother’s day…
Maybe you just wanna take Mom on a spa day and then share three plates of fries afteward? You hear that, Cooper??!
Let’s start with SAVORY:
