Happy mother’s day to all the mothers out there, especially mine.
Kitchen Daily has a list of 10 Mothers Day Gifts to Make Your Mom a Better Cook. Despite the possibly offensive post title (who would tell their mother that she’s a bad cook?), the gift suggestions are pretty nice. (via Huffington Post)
I love the Pioneer Woman and I love every one of her mother’s day gift suggestions. My Fiesta colors of choice are white, plum and shamrock, if you’re buying. Similarly, the Chicago Tribune has a lovely list of kitchen-related gift suggestions.
Need a mother’s day menu? Food and Wine suggests Melon-and-Peach Salad with Prosciutto and Mozzarella and Herbed Egg Crêpes Filled with Smoked Salmon. NPR has recipes for waffles, muffins and scones to help create the perfect breakfast in bed.
If your mother is into canning, she might enjoy these gifts compiled on Toronto Tasting Notes (via the Food in Jars Facebook page). I love everything on the page…and can I just say how excited I am about canning season?
On The Stone Soup, Jules wrote a beautiful post about her mother and 11 lessons she learned from her kitchen.
Need a last minute way to tell mom that you love her? Mashable came up with 7 awesome e-cards to send. They also have a list of 7 ways to show mom you love her and support social good. I think donating to charities on behalf of mother’s is a great idea, especially if your mom already has everything.
Despite all of the great suggestions above, I went the traditional “flowers and a phone call” route this year:
Happy mother’s day, moms!
