Personally, I enjoy cooking. Creating something for others is always an act of love for me. But I may draw the line on Mother's Day, and maybe my birthday. This year if you are lucky enough to be with your Mom, why not make her something special? Find inspiration from these recipes that are oh so celebration worthy.

Strawberry Pie With Strawberry Crust
This has got to be the prettiest pie ever! That fabulous color comes from freeze dried strawberries. The recipe tells you where you can get them. Don't let the lattice work crust overwhelm you. If you aren't up to the task, a regular crust will do the job.
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.
Crispy Salmon with Strawberry Basil Salsa
If you are preparing lunch or even dinner, this is a healthy choice. First of all, it is so appealing with the salsa! It is also a quick fix, which gives you more time with Mom!
The crust is like a shortbread cookie with lemon zest. The filling is the creamiest lemon curd, which I find fun to make. Then there is a layer of strawberry jam. What a delight! You can get the tart pan in time for Mom's Day at Amazon. Find the recipe at....

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

Raspberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast
I haven't had French Toast in years, but gluten and carbs be damned. If served to me, I would eat this in a flash. It's drizzled with hot fudge sauce to boot! Perfect for Mother's Day Brunch.
Spring Cobb Salad
I so appreciate a composed salad. The end result is a work of art. And that is not bacon, it's pancetta. Those pinkish rounds are Watermelon radishes. This is one elevated Cobb Salad.The Modern Proper
Lemon Pie With Blueberry Meringue
Have you ever? This is the prettiest thing that I have seen all day. Maybe all week. For sugar lovers, meringue is the epitome of a treat. Add blueberries and you really have something special. Blueberries and lemon are a tasty treat. I am a bit obsessed with this recipe. Mom is worth it.
Rice Paper Spring Rolls
Aren't these beautiful? If Mom enjoys healthy eating, she is going to love these. The step by step instructions are something you and Mom can do together,

Marinated Goat Cheese Crostini
A super simple recipe that is said to be incredibly good. The thought of the tangy goat cheese alongside the sweet strawberries that have been drizzled with honey, is mouth watering.
