I’m a mom, so I can say this with authority: Moms Love Brunch!
Let me tell you why!
Mother’s Day Brunch means:
- We don’t have to cook and we’d BETTER NOT have to clean up.
- For the love of God! Someone finally let us sleep in. That’s all we ever want, am I right? Well.. that and a day alone with a good book and a box of chocolates.
- YOU get to decide if we want savory OR sweet for brunch. That’s usually the hardest decision EVER. But whatever you feed us must be something WE like. It’s our day after all!
If you’re a mother and you want brunch time awesomeness this Sunday, please direct this post to your family. If you want to make brunch for your mother, ask her her thoughts on eating in bed and then take it from there. Breakfast in bed is kind of a tricky thing…especially when there’s maple syrup involved. I remember it being a bit awkward when I brought my mom french toast in bed one Mother’s day…
Maybe you just wanna take Mom on a spa day and then share three plates of fries afteward? You hear that, Cooper??!
Let’s start with SAVORY:
PAN ROASTED ASPARAGUS W/ FRIED EGGS
Asparagus is in season. Moms will be impressed by the breadcrumbs and LOOK! You fried an egg.
BACON & EGG BREAKFAST PIZZA W/ ARUGULA
Breakfast pizza done right. Women love salad. Look! This is like a salad masking egg, bacon & pizza trickery.
BELL PEPPER IN-A HOLE
For when you’re saving calories cuz yer making mom a spectacular dessert for Mother’s Day, try this healthy recipe!
SAUSAGE CHEDDAR BISCUITS
I mean…come on. A few of these biscuits with some eggs…and maybe a little maple syrup in a little bowl. YES.
BAGELS & SMOKED SALMON CREAM CHEESE
If you’re feeding the whole family in addition to praising your mom, this will do the trick!
LET’S GET SWEET!
FARM STAND BUTTERMILK DOUGHNUTS
Tell your mom it’s OK to eat 5. IT’S HER DAY!!! Calories don’t matter, she BIRTHED you!
BUCKWHEAT BELGIUM WAFFLES
Waffles are easy. She’ll like waking up to a batch of these scenting the house.
ORANGE POPPY SCONES
Light buttery scones perfumed with orange zest. Give your mom a book, some tea & some scones.
Now clean the kitchen without being asked to.
MOM’S SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE
Make one of your mom’s classic recipes! She’ll love having a break from doing it herself.
WARM PEAR-RASPBERRY BRUSCHETTA
Your mom will think you’re aces for coming up with such a clever treat. Tell her it’s just good genes.
STICKY LEMON ROLLS
Make these the night before and sneak out of your bed and put them in the oven in the AM.
Go get the newspaper, set the table, and blow your mom’s mind. Favorite child? That’s you! Duh.
MELON & MINT SALAD
You gotta throw a fruit salad in there. A balanced diet is ALWAYS appreciated. Mom’s want to know they’ve taught you well.
CHOCOLATE DUTCH BABY
Because we all need dessert for breakfast. Especially after being in labor with you.
FRENCH 75
Go get your nails done did and drink some French 75s!
PSSST! Don’t wait til the last minute to get a card. A mom can smell that from A MILE AWAY.

say somethingI always thought it was Belgian waffles. Maybe it’s a regional thing, like pop and soda. Doesn’t matter anyway, because everything looks delicious!
Maybe!
It is Belgian… Belgium is the country they’re attributed to…
I’m not a mother but I will come to your house for brunch anyday!
Awesome!
I introduced my friend on New Year’s Eve to the French 75 – YUM! So we were having drinks at our club on Saturday afternoon and told our bartender about this drink which he never heard of. Hopefully we’ll be ordering a French 75 soon once we print him out a copy of the recipe! CHEERS and Happy Mother’s Day!
Umm, why not savory AND sweet for brunch. No need to choose at all…
Exactly.
my favourite comment “Calories don’t count, she birthed you.”
After having my daughter 2.5 months ago (whoop whoop!), this is a definite.
My husband better blow shit outta the park for this mothers day.
hahaha. HE’D BETTER!!! You deserve it!
um, yes. excellent!! happy mother’s day! xo
Amazing collection of recipes and posts. Really nice. Huge fan of the French 75. Happy Mother’s Day to all us mothers!
Happy Mother’s Day, Tracy. May your good book and box of chocolate dreams come true! (Sounds like the perfect day to me.)
Oh man, I love brunch, too. I have a busy few weekends ahead and now all I can think about is brunch! This is a really lovely round-up of recipes, Tracy!
loving this list! ill take one of each please (when I’m a mom that is…)
YUM! I’m pregnant… is it too soon to start cashing in on this awesomeness?
nope!!! you’re a mom when you get pregnant!
Brunch is the best! I absolutely love it! Hope we’ll be doing a brunch this weekend, love the combo of savory and sweet, but must be savory before sweet….
So many great ideas to choose from, too bad my mom is so far away!!:(
I kinda can’t wait to become a mom so someone can make me one of these! In the meantime, I’m thinking bagels and salmon cream cheese? Anything best for a make ahead meal?
I recently found you blog, I love it so much! Thanks for sharing your recipes, I will have to try some for sure.
Happy Early Mama’s Day! XX
SO GOOD!! Can I just say this post was published with perfect timing? Just this past weekend I was approached by some parentals asking about Mother’s Day Brunch ideas. See that nail over there? You hit it right on the head with this one. Words can not explain how excited this post makes me. Also, I poached eggs for the very first time last night and it was awesome! So yea, with your wonderful ideas and my newly discovered egg-poaching skills, we totally got this one in the bag.
THANKS TRACY!
Great round up, everything here looks delicious!
You are KILLING me. I want it all… right… NOW.
Yum! I do love a savory and sweet combo, but when faced with a decision, I have to pick sweet. Although I’m not a mother, I might celebrate with brunch anyway! Cheers!
I’d like to adopt you.
Yay! Happy almost momma’s day!! The answer is always sweet! At least for me
I want this all on mothers day!
Everyone deserve a brunch. Especially mums.
Fabulous looking spread. No kids, but t I figure even a Cat Mama deserves a nice brunch.
totally making that melon ball salad for Mother’s Day Brunch!
Love this, Tracy! wonderful recipes and superb commentary
Have a great Mothers day, hope you get spoilt rotten.
