Mother’s Day Brunch Recipes!

Here are a few Mother’s Day Brunch Recipes to help get your creative juices flowing this week.  Whether mom like sweet things or savory things, breakfast things or lunch- you’ll find a good selection here. I find that keeping things simple is always best. Remember it’s not just about the food, it is about the time you spend together.

When I first moved to Spokane from Southern California back in my young  20’s, my mother made a tradition of coming up to visit every Mother’s Day. I can still remember the excitement and joy she felt as we would walk through the lilac gardens smelling each and every variety.  Those were some of our happiest times together. Remember to have fun, and make it joyful! Happy Mother’s Day to all you incredible women out there. xoxo
