Mother’s Day Breakfast

Here’s a present you know she’ll love.

Using a cookie cutter or a knife, cut out a small heart shape from the center of a thick slice of bread. Spread each side of bread with herb butter.

Heat skillet over medium heat. Saute bread until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Lower heat, and gently flip toast.

Break an egg into heart-shaped hole. Cover, and cook until egg white turns opaque, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate along with the heart-shaped piece of cutout bread, perfect for dipping into yolk.

Serve with a cup of hot cocoa or cafe au lait.

Celebrating Mother’s Day

One the best way to celebrate Mother’s Day is to give your mom the day off. Let her take it easy and relax while the rest of the family does the work.

Many families begin Mother’s Day with breakfast in bed. Usually Dad and the Kids will let mom sleep late as they go into the kitchen and prepare her favorite meal. A Mother’s Day breakfast can consist of anything your mom likes.

After the food is cooked arrange everything nicely on a tray. Don’t forget the vase with a single flower. With spring here, the children can pick a tulip or daffodil from the garden outside. When everything is ready carefully carry the tray and mom’s favorite sections from the newspaper up to her bedroom. Cards and small presents from the children can be placed on the tray before it is presented to mom in bed.

Many Families make a special Mother’s Day dinner or take mom out to her favorite restaurant for a meal. It is a good day to let your mom relax and let her see what a wonderful family she has.
