Mother’s Day is SUNDAY! If your heart is hurting a little this Mother’s Day, for whatever reason, here’s a post Sara and I put together a few years ago about our own moms. It’s a bittersweet sort of holiday for so many people (myself included), so be kind to yourselves this weekend!

Speaking of being kind, while it would be awesome if your partner/kids automatically got you exactly what you wanted, I’ve learned that sometimes you need to drop some hints. I don’t know what you want exactly, but I wouldn’t say no to a nap, winning the Hamilton lottery, and someone else taking care of meal prep and cleanup!

Brunch is hands down my favorite meal and something about spring time and Mother’s Day makes me feel like it should be happening a lot.  It’s also one of my go-to entertaining ideas when I host baby or wedding showers.  Below you’ll find a Choose-your-own-adventure style brunch menu, where I list a manageable number brunch recipes in a few key categories (Egg main dishes, sweet mains, sides, and drinks) that I use when planning a brunch menu.  For all you Moms out there, this would be fun to use for your own Mother’s Day celebrations- simply choose your favorites below, print out each recipe, and hand them over to your spouse and/or kids!

Egg Main Dishes

Since brunch menus often involve some indulgent foods, I always like having a good egg-based dish to anchor the meal and provide some protein.  You can find more egg-dishes in our index,

Sweet Main Dishes

These types of main dishes provide the fun-factor.  Something a little sweet that makes feel like you’re at a restaurant, and also makes it socially acceptable to eat dessert before noon. You can find our full index of pancakes, crepes, and waffles

Side Dishes

Once you have a great main dish or two, choose a side to round out the meal.  Fresh fruit is another great side that you don’t need a recipe for!
