Recipe Tips That Work for Me when Preparing a Mother’s Day Brunch

Plan the menu with a balance of sweet and savory: When planning out your menu, make sure you add a sweet treat or two to complete your meal.

Prep ahead whenever possible: I always choose a few make-ahead recipes like overnight casseroles, muffins, or desserts that can chill in the fridge. It makes the morning so much more relaxed and enjoyable.

Use store-bought shortcuts wisely: Crescent rolls, pre-cut fruit, or frozen pastry dough can be lifesavers. I use them to save time without sacrificing flavor or presentation.

Involve the kids in simple tasks: If you have little ones helping out, recipes like muffins or parfaits are great for getting them involved. It’s fun for them and makes the whole experience more memorable...and mom's love knowing the kids helped!
