Mother’s Day Brunch Menu:
Home Made Bagels
I think we make these bagels just about weekly in our house! I prep the dough the night before and then boil and bake it in the morning so they are fresh!
I think this weekend I will spruce up this recipe with lox, onions, capers, and all the fun little toppings!
Simple Salad with Carrot and Ginger Dressing
I discovered this dressing via goop kitchen a few weeks back and I was ecstatic when I found the recipe online! I can’t make enough of this!
It’s a simple yet flavorful dressing that is packed with goodness and only takes a few ingredients to make! Trust me on this one – it’s going to be my go-to all summer long!
Herbed Sweet and Spicy Glazed Wild Salmon
Smart in the Kitchen via my much-loved Pamala Salzman cookbook
This is one of my absolute favorite proteins that I make time and time again for my family! It’s simple to make and requires only a few ingredients and my kids love it! Yes, all three of my kids will clean their plates!
I originally got this recipe from Pamela Salzman’s cookbook Quicker than Quick! It’s one of my go-to cookbooks!
Chocolate Layer Cake with Raspberry infused Ganache
It truly is no celebration in my house without this raspberry chocolate cake. Its kinda become our thing, for holidays, birthdays, and just because! It truly is that good! I love that it is completely grain-free, refined sugar-free, and dairy-free!
This is from Sweet Laurel, which also happens to be my other favorite cookbook – especially for desserts! I use her recipes for all my favorite sweet treats!
A Blackberry Mint Fizz
I shared this cocktail a few weeks ago and it has become one of my favorites! I just LOVE a refreshing spring cocktail and will take any excuse to whip up a batch of muddled berries and mint with a splash of gin! Think of it like a gin and tonic but with all the flavors of lemons, blackberries, and mint. You can shop all my favorite brunch accessories here!
The Brunch Essentials
You can’t have brunch without the full spread! I love decorating the table just as much as I love planning the menu. Picking out the glassware and corresponding plates and linens – it just makes me happy!
