That WONDERFUL day of the year where we get to "honor" our mother for giving us life and for ALL that she had done and is doing for us.
My mother is no longer with us, however, I don't think a day goes by that I don't think of her. Mother's Day is hard for me, but, on that day, I thank her for all she did for me, tell her how much I love her, and just sit and think about her for awhile. That's the best way I can honor her. As most of us think, our mother is "the best mother in the world!" I certainly think that of mine and that will never change.
What do you like to do with your mom on Mother's Day? Make her a home cooked meal, take her to lunch, brunch or dinner? There are alot of recipes here on this website to choose from if you want to make her a special meal. It's been almost 19 years since my mom passed and I have trouble remembering what her favorite foods were. However, if you want to look for recipes here, you might want to start looking under the category of Favorite Recipes or even look at the Easter menu - that would work too. If your mom likes to eat "light" you could make her my Apple, Onion, Gorgonzola, and Pecan Salad and add grilled chicken to it. It's under the Favorite Recipes tab, then under Salads. For dessert, you could either make or get Angel Food Cake and puree some blackberries and pour that over the top with a little light whipped cream. I have a wonderful recipe here for Angel Food Cake. It's under the Jefferson County Fair tab, then 2014 Winning Recipes, then First Place Angel Food Cake. If you do make the cake, let me know how you liked it!
Growing up we always (there were four of us kids) took her out for dinner and gave her some sort of gift from each of us. In later years, my brothers and sister would send Mother's Day cards and a check. I was the at home one and would either make a special breakfast and dinner for mom or we'd go out. It was her choice and I always gave her a gift and flowers. Her favorite flowers were anthiriums (from Hawaii) and sunflowers. She also loved roses.
It was always a special day with mom - I loved it as much as she did!
Whatever you do with your mom on Mother's Day - make sure you enjoy it too, as she gave you life; everything you do for her should come from the heart. And, make sure you tell her you love her.
