Mother's Day Brunch
May 11th
Mother's Day is a time to gather family and friends
around a festive breakfast (brunch) or dinner table.
Serve your
Mom her favorite on her very special day. Lots of
Brunch and Breakfast Recipes to please your Mom. A few favorites:
 Fantastic
Cinnamon Rolls
-
These are absolutely wonderful cinnamon rolls. They are very rich and delicious!
Be prepared, as everyone you serve these rolls will want this recipe.
The best part about making this recipe is that the dough can be mixed
and the rolls filled, shaped, and frozen the night before I need to
bake them. I take them out of the freezer to thaw and rise. When I
awake in the morning, I just bake. So easy to make and so rewarding!
 German Pancake
(Dutch Baby) -
Scrumptious! Bring this
spectacular breakfast or brunch dish to the table as soon as it comes out of the oven for a lot of oohs and
aahs.

Mother's
Day Cake
Check out Peggy Weaver's
Baking Corner and her wonderful
Mother's Day Triangle Cake Tutorial.
My train of thought is that it is likely a young person will be
making a dessert for Mom on Mother’s Day. Time is usually in short
supply and young folks are just learning their way around the kitchen.
So, this is my very simple version of a Triangle Cake.

Perfectly Planned Picnics
The hard part of all this outdoor dining, besides
the no-see-ums, is all that organizing. To make picnicking and outdoor dining
easier, I created a checklist which I keep in my picnic basket. I’ve added it here to make your summer more
organized.
