Mom does a lot. While it may be a “Captain Obvious” thing to say, it rings true. So this year, why not celebrate mom and let her sit back, relax and stuff her face with delicious food. Treat mom to an all day eating affair starting with breakfast in bed, moving to a fanciful afternoon tea with small bites and fresh flavors and ending with a hearty dinner. Each recipe is easy to make, so you can create these concoctions without mom's help and impress her all the same with your new cooking skills.
Breakfast In Bed:
Who doesn’t love to eat a full breakfast feast, without getting out of your pjs – or the bed for that matter. These breakfast ideas are easy to make and the perfect way to show mom you care. Bring in a tray of goodies, whether savory or sweet, paired with a glass of OJ, her morning coffee and some flowers, giving her the perfect wake-up call.
Baked Blueberry Lemon French Toast
If your mom is into fancy dessert for breakfast then this is the recipe for her. Imagine if the best french toast mixed with a blueberry-lemon cobbler, you’d get this tangy and sweet baked french toast casserole. Using KING’S HAWAIIAN® dinner rolls, fresh or frozen blueberries and of course the regular french toast fixings like eggs, vanilla and cinnamon, you can create this impressive baked french toast.
Breakfast in bed can prove difficult. The last thing mom wants is to spill on her duvet. Give her a handheld, savory breakfast sandwich to keep it safe. This simple sandwich has scrambled eggs, a sausage patty and cheese for a filling way to start her day. The best part about this recipe is you can customize it. If mom is a bacon person, swap out the sausage. If she doesn’t want cheddar, bring on the swiss. Personalize her sandwich and remind her how much you care.
Afternoon Tea
Make mom feel fancy and bring traditional afternoon tea to her. With cute little tea sandwiches and some healthy lunch options, she can get a regal taste in her own living room. These lighter \recipe ideas are a great way to prepare for the rest of the day and not get too full before dinner to come.
Simple yet effective, the cucumber tea sandwich is the ultimate in fancy finger foods. Using sliced KING’S HAWAIIAN® bread (crusts cut off!), cream cheese flavored with dill and cool, crisp slices of cucumber, the assembly couldn’t be easier.
Presentation is everything with this recipe. The bright fruity colors of mango and strawberry layered between sweet bread and vanilla pudding looks like it came out of a professional pastry shop. The hardest part is making sure the dessert elements stack nicely and don’t topple over before she gets a glimpse of the spectacular treat.
Dinner Time:
Create a two-course meal for dinner and take mom on a trip to Italy with these recipes. Starting with a flavorful salad and ending with a hearty pizza, this meal will ensure your mom ends the day full, satisfied and full of sweet and savory memories of her day of food.
You won’t see any lettuce in this salad, just a perfect mixture of flavor and texture. With homemade croutons using KING’S HAWAIIAN® round bread, diced cucumber, feta cheese, tomato, red onion and sliced avocado on top, each bite is an explosion of unique flavors.
You don’t need to be a pizza master to master this pizza recipe. Using a slice of round bread as your crust base, you can build the perfect pie. Top with fresh mozzarella, fragrant sauteed garlic, sliced roma tomatoes and bake until melty and golden brown. This is quick, easy and looks delectably delicious. Just wait for the cheese pull.
