Also, because we know that Mother's Day can be busy, every recipe is designed to offer ease of preparation, along with a wow factor any mom would appreciate.
A few tips:
- Shop several days in advance and plan accordingly.
- If your meal includes very fresh items, plan to shop Saturday afternoon or make a run for baked goods early Sunday morning.
- Expecting friends and family to drop by? Have extra servings and ingredients for the unexpected guests.
- Consider "make ahead meals" so you can get most of the work done ahead of time.
- Presentation can make or break a meal on a special occasion, so think about the extras: Fruit and herb garnishes, powdered suger and cinnamon, cheese sprinkles, tomato wedges, etc.
