If you’re planning on celebrating Mom by serving her a lavish breakfast in bed, throwing a Pinterest-worthy brunch, or treating her to some delicious goodies, we’ve got the recipes for you! These stand out recipes from savoury to sweet, rustic to glamorous, and healthy to indulgent will be just the thing to #TreatYoMom on Mother’s Day. We all know she deserves it!

Farmer’s Market Quiche

This gorgeous and colourful quiche looks straight out of a magazine and is made with your favourite seasonal veggies. You can make the crust the night before to keep things simple in the morning, (or you can use pre-made crust) and you can adapt the filling to whatever you have available. It’ll be a stunning nutritious and delicious way for Mom to start her day!

Lemon Curd Squares

Lemon desserts are so springy and full of bright flavour, so it makes sense that these Lemon Curd Squares are perfect for Mother’s Day! They’re sweet, tart, and sunshine-y, and they would be a lovely addition to any brunch spread, garden party, or dessert.

Strawberry Poppyseed Scones

As strawberries come into season, this is a delicious and whimsical variety of scone. The balanced sweetness of the fruit and subtly crunchy poppyseeds work beautifully with the flaky pastry. Serve them warm with a generous pat of butter. Get the recipe here!

Jelly Donut Waffles

This take on waffles will bring you and Mom straight back to childhood with the classic flavours of a jelly donut. It’s a standard waffle recipe with a touch of nutmeg, and a decadent cinnamon sugar coating; it’s a simple recipe that looks absolutely stunning on the plate, (and on Instagram) but most importantly, will taste amazing on Mom’s special day!

Bacon Parmesan Stuffed Mushrooms

These gluten-free flavour bombs are both a delicious appetizer and satisfying brunch side dish! Serve alongside some luscious scrambled eggs for a lovely complete meal. They’re only made with 6 ingredients, and there’s even a how-to video. Couldn’t be easier!

Flower Pot Cookies

Talk about a “wow” dessert! These little cookies filled with chocolate ganache will really make mom’s jaw drop. They come together more simply than you’d think, but they are absolutely beautiful and full of sweet flavour. Get the easy recipe here!

Something to Sip on

A brunch or breakfast in bed wouldn’t be complete without something delicious for Mom to drink! Check out this stunning champagne and gin cocktail, the Empress 75 – a spin on the French 75 – and this epic-looking Caesar from Walter Caesar, made with maple syrup and garnished with bacon roses! If mom prefers a mocktail, try this Blueberry Lemonade full of antioxidants and thirst-quenching flavour.

Whether you’re making these treats with Mom or just enjoying them with her, she will probably love how delicious they are, and that you took such care to make them, but most importantly: she'll love the time you’re spending with her. That’s what Mother’s Day is all about, isn’t it!
