Foodie Friday: Mom Worthy Brunch Bites & Beverages

Mother's Day is upon us. Are you ready? I don't require a super big deal made over me. Being a Mother is an honor, and something I wanted to be more than anything.  Spending time with Miss "Shop This," would be the best gift of all.  Many of you will be gathering together to celebrate your own mothers this Sunday.  Why not make the event special with a little fanciful food and a chic cocktail?



HERE: 22 Mom Worthy Recipes 

Eggs, Caviar and Buttered Soldiers
Nothing says "special day" more than caviar. Gosh, I adore it! This recipe even elevates the butter slathered on the toast with a lemon infusion. 
Gourmet Traveller

Raspberry Rose Spritzers

This rosy recipe can be made with sparkling grape juice or champagne. What a pretty way to start the day!

Heather Christo

Persian Love Cake Doughnuts
With ingredients like rose, lemon, pistachio, saffron and cardamon, this has got to be one interesting doughnut! Love how it is served in the box with coffee, and so will Mom.
Twigg Studios

Green Salad with Edible Flowers

Such a simple but stunning salad! I have purchased edible flowers at Whole Foods.

Martha Stewart

Lemon Sugar Crepes with Whipped Cream Cheese

These special crepes are not that difficult to make. And though I am sure they taste fabulous, the presentation is beyond beautiful.

Half Baked Harvest

Peach Bellini Cocktail

An easy recipe that is ever so special.  It's made with fresh peach puree

Laylita

Coconut Banana Macadamia Nut Pancakes with Coconut Syrup 

No one would know, but I love a pretty pancake. I never eat them, but I secretly think about them.  I'm not talking about your average flapjack, which I find boring. This recipe is right up my alley. It's unique and anything but boring.

Pineapple and Coconut

Strawberry Brie Waffle Bites
I couldn't resist these beautiful bites. What fun for company, and the children are sure to enjoy them.
Lemon Tree Dwelling

Frittata with Baby Broccoli and Cheddar

A frittata is a wonderful choice for a Mother's Day Brunch. It is easy to serve and tastes good hot or at room temp. A crispy bread topping is the perfect finish for this yummy dish.

Williams - Sonoma

Floral Fizz

This non - alcoholic sparkler is a refreshing choice for those who do not drink.

Food52

Raspberry and Basil Créme Brûlée

This one is for Mollie, who loves a good Créme Brûlée. I love mixing savory with sweet.

Chatelaine

Chicken and Leek Pie

This petite pie is just the cutest for lunch brunch or dinner! It calls for corn fed chicken. That's a first for me. Free range would do fine.

Gourmet Traveller

Brown Sugar Peaches and Cream Grilled French Toast

Grilled fruit makes anything taste better. I think of myself as the queen of French Toast, but this recipe beats all of mine. A must try!
Half Baked Harvest

Orange Mint Julep

Bobby Flays take on a southern staple.  Isn't it refreshing looking?

Bon Appetit

Swiss Chard, Pear and Gruyère Tart

Savory and sweet - a perfect pairing!
Cannelle et Vanille

Light Fresh Fruit Parfait
This is the easiest little treat to make, and I have done it many times. Everyone will love it, and isn't it pretty served this way?
Taste With The Eyes

Asparagus Goat Cheese Galette

Those that like to make a pie, will love creating a galette. This flaky buttery crust is not as difficult to work with, as a normal pie crust.
Simple Bites

The Sparkling Floral Lemon Drop
Made with Skinnygirl® Bare Naked Vodka, and a splash of Prosecco. Sign me up!
The Glitter Guide

Stuffed Strawberries
Give this job to the kids. They'll love stuffing the strawberry halves with the gooey chocolate mixture. It couldn't be easier!
The Reluctant Entertainer

Leek+Potato+ Goat Cheese Tarte Tatin
A Tarte Tatin is basically an upside down pie. I have never tried to make one, but they sure are beautiful! This may be worth the effort.
Yes! More Please

Vegan No Bake Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake
Mom won't believe how beautiful this cake creation is! The crust is made with dates and almonds. Yum!
Call Me Cupcake

Raspberry Rose Fizz
Pretty in pink. This cocktail is a combination of two classic drinks, the Clover Club and the Ramos Fizz. It's perfect for Mom. 
Honestly Yum
