On Mother’s Day

By May 10, 2012October 2nd, 201365 Comments

What the heck? No Mother’s Day post on DALS this year? That’s because I posted on Bon App on Tuesday all about how we don’t really celebrate it. I know, not very helpful. If you are like most normal people and in the market for a kick-ass brunch main dish, check out this baked cinnamony French toast from the always-reliable Deb at Smitten Kitchen. If I celebrated Mother’s Day, that’s definitely what I’d want in the middle of my peony-strewn brunch table. That, and a copy of Dinner: A Love Story, naturally.

Have a great weekend!

    My favorite thing to make on Mother’s Day is Monkey Bread/Pull-apart bread. I see Mother’s Day as an excuse to eat something totally decadent and sinful.

    I think we’re doing a cook-out for Mother’s Day. No crowded restaurant, and I don’t have to cook, so it works for me.

    This will be my last Mother’s Day orchestrating the celebrations for my own mother, because of July 31st (ish) I will offically be a mother myself. 😀 That means I will make/buy my mom a special treat and kick my feet up with her.

    As my guys don’t cook, if I want anything special for Mother’s Day food, it’ll be something I pick up myself (so at least I don’t cook). It’ll be my first mother’s day and I’m looking forward to it!

    PS – I’m like you. I’d prefer dinner to brunch anyday! But, if someone else is cooking, I’ll happily eat anything!

    We have developed the tradition of doing a picnic lunch for mother’s day. I get to pick the treats and the place. It’s great because my toddler can run around without me stressing about bothering other people in a resturant and yet we get out of the house for something a bit different and special.

    P.S. I will be looking in your archives for a nice brunch item to make for my family. Thanks again!

    So funny since we just decided to have brunch at my house, so therefore I’m cooking (instead of my mom or sister) and I’m making a cinnamon challah french toast casserole! I’ll have to check out Smitten Kitchen (which I love) for any helpful hints:)
