Don't go out to eat on Mothers Day. Avoid the crowds, long waits, and poor service, and make mom's day special by serving her baked blueberry french toast and chocolate banana smoothies in bed.
Or let her sleep in and wake up to the aroma of fresh coffee, baked breakfast casserole and goat cheese tarts. Of course, whatever you make, you know mom will love it -- especially if she doesn't have to do the dishes!
Try to use the freshest ingredients you can find for mom's special day. Strawberries, asparagus and peas are particularly nice this time of year. Try aspargus wrapped in prosciutto, for example. It is not only an easy, yet elegant appetizer or side dish, it's also especially tasty this time of year when asparagus is in season.
Likewise, a simple angel food cake gets a special finishing touch when topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. It has a decadent taste, yet it's an entirely fat free dessert!
If small children want to do something special for Mothers Day, why not help them whip up a batch of Cheerios breakfast cookies? These low-sugar delights are a cinch to make in advance, and the kids can enjoy them, too!
