Foodie Friday: All Things Pink For A Pretty Mother's Day Meal

{ Via: Home Edit }

Create the perfect menu for Mother's Day and beyond with these recipes for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. Just remember all of those birthday parties Mom planned for you. It's her day to feel special and appreciated. A good meal begins with a pretty presentation. Don't forget to set the table! Isn't the photo place card a clever touch? Today's post is pretty in pink, because my own mama loved any shade of pink. I bet that yours does, too. Think Raspberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast, Strawberry Pie with Strawberry Crust and more.

HERE: 16 Mom Approved Recipes

Unkle's Punch
From the Waikiki restaurant, Mahina & Sun. This pretty punch has lovely ingredients like  Ko Hana Agricole Rum, Campari, and Velvet Falernum. It's quite the chic cocktail. 
Williams Sonoma

Next Level Mother's Day Cake
Show up your siblings with this easy as pie recipe. It's made with store bought mixes and ready made candy like Strawberry Whoppers, Pink Rock Candy, Cotton Candy and more.
Brit & Co.

Smoked Salmon Spread
Blended with nonfat Greek Yogurt, light cream cheese and fresh dill, this delicious dip (or spread) will be gone in a flash at your next bash.

Seared Ahi Tuna Poke Salad With Hula Ginger Vinaigrette
My favorite shade of pink is inside a perfectly prepared piece of tuna. The flavors of this dish are heavy on the tropics, which is never
 a bad thing. 
Half Baked Harvest

Raspberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast
What a way to start her day! It's made with buttery brioche, which just can't be bad.
Countryside Cravings

Watermelon Radish Salad with 
Asian Citrus Dressing
Watermelon radishes make any dish prettier. These large radishes have a very mild flavor, so they won’t overpower any salad that you use them in.  Their crunch is refreshing, and the bright color makes you want to eat them like candy.
Season With Spice

Strawberry Bellini
Nothing could be prettier or easier. The perfect cocktail for Mother's Day brunch and beyond.
Dell Cove Spices

Pink Velvet Swiss Roll
Remember those "Little Debbie Swiss Rolls?" As a child, I always thought that they were named after me. And if the mothers in your life like sweet things, this recipe has their name on it. It's not as hard as you think.
Garnish and Glaze

Hot Pink Coconut Slaw

If Mom is a coconut fan, make this dish for her as soon as possible. This antioxidant-rich slaw is awesome alone or with guacamole or strips of fresh avocado—try that on a taco or 
chips or tostada!

Raspberry Shortcake Ricotta Ice Cream
So, have you heard of a ricotta ice cream? I have not either. Does it sound a little odd? Tieghan promises "it’s nothing but delicious, and the second best part…it’s SO easy to make…no oven, stove-top, or eggs! AND if you don’t have an ice cream maker, that’s totally ok too." I believe her. The " Shop This " family has not purchased store bought ice cream in two years. Making your own is so much better.
Half Baked Harvest

Vietnamese Shrimp Spring Roll Bowl
One of a my favorite pink things - shrimp!  What a beautiful bowl that is just bursting with interesting flavors. The dressing is what makes this dish so special. It's all topped off with a homemade sweet chili mango sauce. 
Half Baked Harvest

Strawberry Pistachio Turnovers
Aren't these the happiest little turnovers ever? According to the recipe author, "These are embarrassingly easy, as is everything I make with puff pastry. Some chopped fresh strawberries take a nap in a sugar shower and get stuffed inside buttery, flaky puff pastry. Then we make a strawberry glaze and drizzle it on top." Pretty simple.
How Sweet Eats

Roasted Beet and Horseradish Crème
A smooth, creamy beet condiment with a hidden horseradish kick.

Lobster Roll Bruschetta
My favorite shades of pink. It's a fresher form of the Lobster Roll, and oh so impressive. The tang and crunch of pickled shallot rings are a real plus.
Cooking Light

Strawberry Pie with Strawberry Crust
Is this not the prettiest pie you ever saw? This gorgeous strawberry pie with strawberry crust gets it vibrant pink hue from freeze-dried strawberries ( which you can 
pick up at Trader Joe’s ).
Pure Wow

 Pomegranate Champagne Sorbet
This Mom loves champagne. What about yours? This is a delightful dessert for any 
special occasion.
