First, decide on a serving surface to use as you deliver your delicious creation to Mom or the mother of your children. If you do not have a tray, try using a wooden crate, a large platter, or a cut-down cardboard box lined with wall paper, newspaper, a kitchen towel, or painted. At the very least, she will have you as her personal server for the morning meal.
Dress the delivery up with a hand written note, card, or picture. Of course, she would also adore a vase with a flower in it, be it made of paper or hand-picked from the garden. Whatever you choose, just make sure it says “I love you!”
Begin by bringing her a fancy drink along with her daily coffee or tea. Try a fresh pressed carrot and orange juice with mint and honey and perhaps with some added Prosecco. Get the recipe.
If smoothies are more her style, try this strawberry and yogurt smoothies with a hint of beets to give it the beautiful color. Try this recipe.
It is time for the food, this is what she has been waiting for!
