Mother's Day Brunch Recipes
When it comes to Mother's Day, we're always looking to make Mom feel super special. Whether it's our very own Shop Mama, Vickie, or other wonderful Moms in our lives, we know that there is nothing better than a delicious brunch to celebrate them. Why brunch? It lets mom sleep in while also early enough for her to enjoy other activities or outings as she chooses. That's why we created the ultimate Mother's Day brunch menu for all those special Moms out there.
We can't say it enough, no one wants to be standing around cooking on Mother's Day. Whether you're a mom cooking for a crowd or trying to make a special meal for the wonderful mom in your life, your time is much better spent celebrating and enjoying each other's company. That's why this baked French toast recipe from Kristine in Between trumps pancakes and waffles any day. It can be refrigerated up to a day ahead and bakes in just 40 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and add a side of warm maple syrup and you're good to go.
When we think quiche, we think fancy. But fancy doesn't have to be difficult. With the help of store-bought pie crust, Lil Luna's recipe comes together easily and includes other helpful tips. Additionally, you can make it ahead and keep it for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer making it great for Mother's Day or any other occasion.
*Note: We like to pair it a simple bistro salad and roasted asparagus to make a tasty and impressive meal.
As if we didn't love bundt cake enough, throw in the amazing flavors from cinnamon rolls and we are sold. Of course, you could always make traditional cinnamon rolls but there's something about the cake version that makes it seem like we're really celebrating Mom. Because it can be stored for 1-3 days in the refrigerator, this bundt cake from Nourished Endeavors can be enjoyed with coffee the day of or made in advance for extra time with Mom.
Who doesn't love a nice fluffy biscuit for brunch? It's great as a side smothered in butter or jam and can steal the show when covered in a rich gravy. Don't even get us started on the possibilities as a breakfast sandwich. These fluffy buttermilk biscuits from Table for Two are sure to put those store-bought tubes in your refrigerator to shame.
If you need a vegetarian or gluten free option, this fruit salad recipe from Munchkin Time is the dish for you. We love its versatility as you can use whatever fruit you like or have on hand. If making this ahead, you can prep everything and store them separately up to 4 days in advance and assemble it when you're ready to serve.
(Note: If you'd like to make this recipe vegan, skip the honey and opt for agave or maple syrup.)
Breakfast hash is a delicious staple that is the perfect pairing with your scrambled eggs. But this sweet potato hash from the Epicurean Mouse is a great alternative to regular potoato hash but just as good. Sausage and peppers make it hearty one-pan dish that comes together easily. We love the combination of flavors that can be personalized to your taste. It's another dish that's sure to please Mom on her day.
Mother's Day comes at the perfect time of year for celebrating. The weather is warming up and we're ready for lighter cocktails to enjoy with the changing season. While you can easily opt for a MOM-osa bar, another great make-ahead option is a pitcher of Peach Rose Sangria from Recipe Runner. Make it the day before and let the amazing fruit flavors infuse with the alcohol for a more well-balanced beverage. Top off with some sparkling water and a garnish to make it extra special for the mom in your life.
There are so many ways to make the Mom in your life feel loved and appreciated. Whether you're cooking together or cooking for her, we hope that you are able to enjoy these recipes together for a beautiful day. From our team at Sandstone, we wish you a very Happy Mother's Day!
