For many of us, we show our love for mom on Mother’s Day with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, a sentimental Hallmark card or maybe even a gift certificate to her favorite spa. These great gift ideas certainly rank high for holiday presents but the number one choice still holds at taking your special lady to brunch. Boston has no shortage of fabulous restaurants with menus that include delicious cuisine fit for a queen but maybe you’re interested in another route? What if what if we put a homespun feel towards this year’s festivities? The truth is, brunches prepared by families at home are becoming more and more popular, resonating back to traditional Mother’s Day celebrations. After conducting a few comparisons, I’ve got to tell you, there are a lot of benefits tied to this new trend. For starters, there are no reservations to be made, no disappointment with ingredients or diet concerns, no traveling required and first and foremost, no excessive food charges that will skyrocket the bill. Cooking your own feast for mom does however allow flexibility within dish selection, an open door to whomever you wish to invite and the opportunity to personalize the event with your mom’s favorite foods, decorations and flowers. If you’re interested in hosting your own Mother’s Day brunch instead of dining in one of our city’s eateries, here’s a sure fire way to make all of your guests (and most importantly the guest of honor) enjoys this special day!
The Menu
Make the meal as simple or as sophisticated as your culinary skills will allow you to. Croissants are a great way to start along with other pasties and muffins. Recipes containing eggs are another smart beginning where you can make easy scrambled eggs or more elaborate dishes su
The Setting
You’re going to want to dress things up a bit since it’s Mother’s Day so plan a trip to your local florist for a fresh bunch of peonies, garden roses, lisianthus, scabiosa or French tulips. Arrange them in the center of the dining table
