Mother's Day Plans? Open up for recipes


Hi Reader,

Happy Friday!

As a bonus email this week, I wanted to send along some options to add to your table for Mother's Day this Sunday.

We will likely go to church, come back home for lunch, then head out to a local brewery with some friends for music, food, kids playground and more. It should be a fun time.

I'm also excited because I was just given this for Mother's Day and can't wait to use it!

Whether you're a parent or not, these easy recipes are great for breakfast and brunch, or for surprising that special person(s) in your life.

Oh, and scroll down to the bottom for some special discounts!

Mother's Day Brunch Ideas:

  • Asparagus Quiche - This Mushroom and Asparagus Quiche is the easiest of vegetarian quiche ideas, offering protein, veggies and cheese for a delicious meal any time of day.
  • Quinoa Sweetpotato Salad - Grain salads are a long-time favorite any time of year, but they are especially easy and nice for spring. They travel well for picnics and outings, and you can make a bunch in advance for meal prep!
  • Mexican Chorizo Egg Bake - A delicious breakfast casserole recipe.
  • French Toast Sticks - Bonus is that these are great for kids and babies, too! I like to have these as a sweet option on the brunch spread.
  • Turkey Sausage Breakfast Casserole - I love this healthy spin on a casserole that also has sweetpotatoes, for added fiber and Vitamins. Plus, a natural sweetness.
  • Mango Quinoa Salad - A refreshing cold summer salad that's as beautiful as it is tasty.
  • Carrot cake bites - These vegan no-bake bites are great for on the go snacks or a sweet dessert, plus have hidden veggies in them!
  • Strawberry Chicken Salad - The most delicious lightened spring salad recipe with a creamy greek yogurt recipe.
  • Gluten-free Hummus Pasta Salad - There's a reason this recipe is always a hit in the spring - it's delicious and great for any picnic/outing! It also uses gluten-free pasta, but you can sub with any pasta of your choice.
