Mother’s Day Brunch Recipes

Ideas for a Mother's Day Brunch. Links to lots of recipes.

How do you celebrate Mother’s Day?  We used to go out to a brunch buffet after church.  But as our families grew, it started getting pretty expensive.  We also realized that we didn’t spend much time enjoying each other’s company in the busy restaurant.  So several years ago we began having brunch back at our home.  (My sisters and I decided that my parent’s house wasn’t an option, as my mom would stress about things getting done).

Mother’s Day Brunch

It’s always nice when the kids and husbands help out so we ladies can do more relaxing than cooking.  Those that don’t help cook, contribute to the clean up.

Savory Dishes

Bacon in the oven is the easiest way to make bacon with much less mess!

There must be bacon.  This gets cooked the day before and stored in an aluminum pan covered with foil.  It heats up nicely on Mother’s Day in the oven for a few minutes.  Yes, there must be bacon.

 

Easy Sausage Egg Bake

We also have some kind of egg dish.  Some years it is an egg bake, other times a frittata or quiche.  This year, I think I might make my favorite sausage egg bake.  It’s so easy!

Last year my niece made these sausage bites, and I’m hoping she brings them again this year.  So simple and so addictive!

Something Sweet

This is a basic, simple granola recipe that you can customize however you like. Click here to find out how to make it!

 

One of my favorite things we did was a yogurt bar.  We had plain and vanilla yogurts, and a variety of toppings. Fresh berries, granola, nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips.  Everyone could customize just how they wanted and create something unique.  Last year, instead of a full yogurt bar, I made this yogurt recipe and we had berries out to top it with.  Yummy!

Freezer friendly scones

We always have some delicious baked goodies, too.  Some things that may show up include:

  • Scones
  • Muffins
  • Carrot cake bread with cream cheese
  • Cupcakes
  • Cream cheese pastry
  • Banana bread
  • Oatmeal Breakfast Cake
  • Cinnamon Rolls
  • King Cake
  • Doughnuts
Chunky, fruity and nutty. A delicious recipe for carrot cake bread.
Try this simple cream cheese pastry for your next brunch.

Fruit and Beverages

My parents always bring a selection of fruit.  Sometimes it’s a gigantic bowl of chopped, mixed fruit; other times my grandmother’s recipe for fruit cocktail (lots of yummy citrus fruit painstakingly segmented and mixed); and sometimes individual bowls of berries.

For beverages, of course we have coffee and tea available as well as a selection juices.  My mom also likes to bring sparkling juice for the grandkids.

This mom likes a special cocktail (aside from the fruit variety, if you know what I mean).  I’ve made sangria, mimosas, and last year a limoncello treat.

Now on  Mother’s Day we spend a lot more time chatting, laughing, and eating tasty food.  And for a lot less money than we used to spend!

    We used to celebrate with a family dinner since we lived far apart and travel took some time. Brunch would have been nice. When our children were with us, Hubby usually took us out. Now we don’t celebrate at all. Both mothers and both children have left this earth. This has been a rough holiday for us ever since the first child died in an accident.

      Oh Barbara, my heart breaks with yours. Losing a child has to be the most difficult thing a person could bear. I’m so sorry. May God fill what you’ve lost. I spent some time on your blog, and I love your tone. It really drew me to want to keep reading more. Thanks for stopping by today. Blessings to you–
