One of the most important things to do on Mother's Day is to treat your mother with the kindness and courtesy she deserves. Of all the gifts you want to buy, the gift of your time and consideration will (always) be the best. So, how about preparing breakfast for the woman who has done everything for you her entire life? To start the day off right, the only thing that will be better than delighting her with tasty brunch dishes is the luxury of making her enjoy them in bed. Make your mother feel like the queen she is!
These recipes cover any type of breakfast and also work if you prefer to plan a special snack to mark the date. Whatever your choice, we leave you with a promise: these recipes will make your mother happy.
Note: accompany them with juices from our online store or with a steaming coffee (our High Coffee is an excellent choice!).
