Let’s get one thing straight: I’d never try to guilt you into planning a stunning spread for your mom this Mother’s Day. That’s simply not me.
Having said that, she was the one who screamed through 26 hours of labor to bring you into the world. And she was the one who cooked, cleaned, made your bed and school lunch, and came to your defense every time the neighborhood bully beat you up. And she even shouted down the bully’s mother, Stella, who happened to have been her one-time best friend, when Stella tried to blame you for her kid’s torn earlobe. (Too oddly specific?)
But, like I said, no guilt here. Just a lot of mom-approved, mom-adored recipes that fairly scream, “I love you.”
Happy Mother’s Day to the real-world heroes of our lives.
Asparagus, Egg, and Cheese Strata
I have made this recipe several times for our private very rich school in Ohio. It was served for parents and board members for meetings every time. They always requested it and I would make it several ways. I’m a retired chef and they loved the bacon, ham, or veggie one to say the least. I would have to end up making 10 of these because the members wanted to take some homes. They are simple to make and a real crowd pleaser and not one person left hungry after their meeting.

Pain Perdu 〜 French Toast with Raspberries
Cherry Tomato, Asparagus, and Herbed Ricotta Tart
A very flavorful tart. Smelled delicious as it was baking and the end product made a tasty lunch. This cherry tomato, asparagus, and herbed ricotta tart could be a lunch, dinner or appetizer!!
The ricotta spread had a nice compliment of flavors with fresh basil, garlic, parsley and lemon zest. I really enjoyed the attractive presentation of this recipe with the cherry tomatoes and asparagus. I will definitely make this again!

Little Gem Salad
I was drawn to this salad recipe because I love Little Gem lettuce. This salad came together quickly and was vibrant with fresh herbs, radishes, and lemony dressing. The ricotta salata added a creamy counterpoint to the herbs and dressing, and the toasted walnuts added a nice texture.

Parmesan and Gruyère Cheese Soufflé
Fantastic recipe! Don’t let a souffle intimidate you, this is easy!
I would suggest you cook it till you get a nice dark golden top; otherwise, it’s still a bit gooey in the middle and not as well-risen as it can be. It froze well and baked up in ramekins in just 25 mins from frozen.

Mussels in a Creamy White Wine Garlic Sauce
Wow! Thank you for the simple steps, as this creamy mussels dish made me feel fancy without the hassle of constantly checking the directions to make sure I remembered each tip.
Bottom line is that my husband now likes mussels, so I’ll call it a win and plan to make it again.

Pan-Seared Moroccan Salmon
This pan-seared salmon was so delicious! I made it for a dinner I made for my in-laws, and they loved it! Another bonus of this great dish is its presentation.

French Roast Chicken ~ Poulet Rôti
This roast chicken was amazing. So easy to make, and the vegetables in the juices were out of this world. We may never go back to grocery store roast chicken again.

Blueberry Prosecco Spritz
Wow, just amazing. I loved this blueberry Prosecco spritz recipe. I think this drink is a perfect solution for the summer season.

Aperol Spritz
Lemon Drizzle Cake
This lemon drizzle cake recipe was quick and easy, and I would definitely make it again. The ingredients are easy to access, and it makes a perfect dessert or sweet breakfast. If you like lemon, this is the perfect option for you. It is very flavourful, light, and citrusy; overall a great recipe.

Flourless Chocolate Cloud Cake
We literally couldn’t stop eating this, it was SO good. The cake was so light and chocolatey with hints of orange. Followed the recipe exactly except we only had Cointreau so we used 1 tbsp of that since we figured it might be a bit stronger.

Some easy Mother’s Day brunch ideas include avocado toast, homemade pancakes or waffles, deep-dish French toast casserole, and yogurt parfaits. These can be personalized with toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, and syrup. If you’d like to get a little fancier, try our classic eggs Benedict.

Good question! In the US and Canada, as well as much of the world, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. In the UK, it is celebrated in March and is often referred to as “Mothering Sunday.” Make sure to set a reminder!

My grandmother was Stella Rose! I’m taking Mother’s Day dinner to my niece & her kids since I’m not a mother. Being an aunt is the best job in the world – you get to spoil the kids & then take them home.
Happy Mother’s Day to Mama Leite.

Dottie, if your grandma was Stella Rose, does your uncle have a ripped earlobe?!!! Happy Auntie Day to you. And I’ll pass on your best wish to Mama Leite.
