A group of my favorite recipes that will be perfect for Mother's Day - brunch recipes, group recipes, seasonal recipes and dessert!
Mother’s Day is this weekend! That sure came up quick! In case you need some recipe inspiration, here are a few of my favorites that I think would be perfect for the occasion. Plus, see below for an extra special giveaway 🙂
For brunch:
I love these lightly sweet Coconut Mango Muffins. I often keep them in my freezer for a weekday breakfast or snack. To make them brunch-able, serve with the mini frittatas below:
These little Mini Tomato Frittatas with Dill are as cute as they are delicious. I absolutely love the combo of dill and eggs. These little guys are also filled with kale, feta, scallions, and tomatoes.
This Blueberry Coconut Baked Oatmeal might be my favorite brunch recipe ever. It’s a sweet breakfast that’s filled with so many good-for-you things like oats, almonds, hemp seeds, coconut flakes, strawberries, and bananas.
This Shakshuka with Spinach and Harissa is a reader favorite and one of my favorites too. I just love these baked eggs in spicy tomato sauce. Serve with avocado slices and toast for dipping – yum yum!
This one just makes me drool. The Cinnamon Sugar Baked French Toast is a slightly more indulgent sweet breakfast than the baked oatmeal above and it’s a crowd pleaser, because who doesn’t love french toast! I originally made this using pomegranates in the winter, but now that it’s spring, I would use fresh berries instead.
Farmers Market Inspired Recipes:
This Fennel & Clementine Chopped Salad is so pretty! It’s a crunchy slaw-like salad that’s tossed with a ginger-miso dressing and topped with clementines, avocado, and fresh mint.
Chickpea Salad Wraps with Avocado Dill Sauce. If you love tuna salad, but not actual tuna, give these chickpea salad wraps a go! I love to eat these for lunch, but they’d also be a great springy brunch appetizer.
I’ve never actually had pizza on Mother’s Day, but this super springy Farmers Market Asparagus Potato Pizza is so elegant and fresh with those pretty asparagus ribbons that I’m sure it would be a big hit.
Dinner for a group:
You can’t go wrong with a big pan of lasagna and this Roasted Vegetable Lasagna will please vegetarians and meat-eaters alike!
For Dessert:
This Strawberry Coconut Cream Tart has a delectable almond flour crust. This is a lightly sweet, very fresh, grain-free dessert that everyone’s going to love.

eggs benendict with avocado and bacon 🙂 yum yum!!
Oh my, so hard to pick just one. Smoked salmon Benedict, pot roast Benedict with caramelized onions, chicken and waffles, or stuffed cherry and cream cheese French toast ??
Smoked salmon on sourdough bread with chives, sour cream and eggs! (Anything with smoked salmon has me hooked!)
I love a toasted Everything bagel with a schmear of whipped cream cheese, strips of lox, thin slices of red onion, a spoonful of capers, and freshly cracked black pepper on top. Oh, and of course, a spicy Bloody Mary to go with it! 😉
Favorite brunch food specifically for my mother would be smoked salmon with an egg benedict and a slice of toasted bread from a good bakery
Favorite brunch food… probably Potato & Cheddar Waffles, with a dollop of sour cream and chives! Yum!
My favorite brunch food is so simple – a nice fruit salad makes me very happy!
Hello!
My favorite brunch recipe is savory french toast:) which is basically bread dipped into an egg and milk mixture with some salt and pepper, pan fried.
I also really like an omelet poured on top stir fried tomatoes and onions. Adding sour cream to the omelet mixture makes it very fluffy especially if the lid is left on while cooking.
I love eggs for brunch- frittatas or baked eggs or scrambled eggs and toast! This is a wonderful gift basket for a lucky mom. 🙂
Anything with eggs for me!
If we are talking decadent, pamper myself, once or twice a year breakfast/brunch its got to be pastries – lemon poppy seed scones with fresh blueberry jam or pumkin cream cheese muffins with walnuts, or almond crescents, or Belgium waffles covered in strawberries and whipped cream. Who can decide? Can I have it all? After all it’s something I do only once or twice a year. I do know that it MUST come with a cup of hot chocolate – preferably white with raspberries floating in it.
I love Eggs Benedict, but with Salmon instead of the ham.
Avocado toast, scrambled eggs, grits and hashbrowns
My favorite? Franch toast casserole in the slow cooker. Make the night before. It’s ready when you wake up and you can eat and relax!
Giant cinnamon rolls and mimosas.
French toast is one of my favorite items for brunch.
I love a good poached egg! Especially with lots of veggie toppings! Couple that with a hibiscus mimosa and I am in heaven!!! <3
I love cinnamon rolls! Or some kind of decadent pancakes
Grits or a homemade smoothie!
My favorite brunch food is my grandma’s egg bake – delicious and foolproof!
