Mother's Day for me is.... Memories of being in the kitchen creating mis-shaped pancakes, often burnt on one or both sides. scrambled eggs, OJ, hot hot MJB coffee and flowers ripped fresh from mom's garden... All of this being brought in on a tray to serve her breakfast in bed!!!
I don't ever recall having breakfast trays in our home growing up, so breakfast was crammed on a cookie sheet w/ one of mom's best kitchen towels
After a early episode of a tippy breakfast tray, warm syrup, hot hot coffee, and my mom under it all. Mom spoke in a tone that could be heard within a 15 mile radius. "Plllleeeeasssee do not serve me G#!D@&!F!~@*&#?>! breakfast in bed! Bed's were for sleeping, not eating!!!".
Fortunately, Mom was able to enjoy many future Mothers days unscathed around the dining room table, and I still derive great pleasure from sharing food with family & friends, and can still laugh over most culinary disasters.
Make Over Mothers day break- fast
In honor of mom's everywhere I wanted to share a fun remake on breakfast muffins.
After you have a baked a fresh batch of muffins- Invite your favorite mom for a walk to a neighborhood park, or just spread a big blanket in the backyard-
I recommend you take the walk first it is good for you both!
In your backpack include a thermos of coffee w/ extra cups and some fresh muffins, add some sliced oranges, or fresh berries in a bag as a nice way to finish your snack. Sitting outside you can also sneak in some extra vitamin D from the sun!
Thank you to all you mom's who have inspired, and watched over me throughout the years,
Enjoy your special day!
