My Mummy!!

I’ve done all the homework for you: impress Mom this year with a few simple, step by step recipes on this Mother’s Day brunch buffet menu that’s incredibly impressive, yet simple. The best part is, she’ll never know!

If you want to give your mom a gift that she’ll always remember, I can (almost) guarantee that it would be something that you do for her, and not a tangible gift that you hand to her.

French Toast with Orange Sauce

If mom’s not a maple syrup fan, then this is for her! An added crunch from a sugary crust makes this a super delicious option for a breakfast buffet!

Soft Boiled Eggs and Soldiers

A treat at any age! Soft boil eggs, and keep them warm in a basket wrapped in a tea towel for the brunch table. And why not gift mom her own special egg cups, too!

  1. Happy Mother’s Day to you and your mom.
    She looks fantastic and so happy.
    Hold her dear and treasure the precious moments.
    It’ll be the first Mother’s Day without my mom and my mother in law, as we lost both of them within 2 months of each other.
    I’ll be making a pasta dish in their honour tomorrow.
    Enjoy the special day.

    1. Oh I am sooo sorry, that’s really hard, Luisa! Big hugs from CA. Happy belated mother’s day to you, too; I was in Germany on Mother’s Day, so I’m just seeing this now. xx

  2. Wishing YOU the best Mother’s Day ever this weekend, Christina, and so happy to know you’re with your Mum. What a gorgeous photo of her. She looks fabulous. Must be the cooking …

    Thanks for the delicious ideas – Lucie will adore this Affogato since she’s crazy about coffee and am sure she’ll love “making it for Mother’s Day” …
