Mother's Day is just a week away, so I thought it would be fun to pull together 5 Treats To Sweeten Up Mother's Day from breakfast to dessert, in honour of all my superwomen readers.
It's your day and you deserve to get it started with a cocktail! Yes? This Berry Beet Smooth-tini is a cocktail posing as a smoothie and a great way to start your special day. Guaranteed to keep a smile plastered on your face through all the dysfunctional display of love.
Too bold a move? How about a Green Superfood Smoothie to get you started? Or, if your preference sways more to the crunchy side, this Biscoff Banana Granola Bowl topped with fresh fruits will do the trick.
Dust off the patio furniture, head outside and enjoy this Onion Gorgonzola Tart for brunch. With a super thin pastry crust, this savoury tart is all about what's on the inside. You know, like the stuff you instilled in us when we were little. Well, it applies to food too! #motherknowsbest 😉
You may also want to heat things up with these Cheddar Chive Chili Scones, or get cheesy with a piece of this Caraway Cheddar Roll.
Go light on dinner to save room for drinks and dessert with these Kale and Lentil Salad Spoons. Not keen on this vegetarian version? Add some ground or barbecued meat or fish to fill your cups and tummy and grab a cool drink to wash it all down.
Like this Ginger Beer Rosemary Rye Cooler. It’s simple, sexy and seriously sensory seducing... much like you!! You've got three hundred and sixty four days before before it's all about you again, so don't be shy. Drink up!
Sure, drinks will get the conversations going, but it ain't a party without cake. And this Banana Butterscotch Bombshell has your name written all over it - strung across it, if you need to get technical. Oh, it's filled with bananas and since bananas are technically a herb and fruit (say what now?), I'll take a leap and call this cake a food group...RIGHT?!?
So now that you've settled on a menu, the only thing left to decide is who will prepare it...

This will be my first Mother's Day without my mom but thank goodness my daughter wants to spend the day with me! I know her presence will ease my lingering grief. I would love a huge slice of the Banana Butterscotch Bombshell to share with her!
