What
nicer gift could you give Mom than to give of yourself by making breakfast
for her on Mother's Day? She will remember the kind gesture for
many years to come. Try these delicious breakfast ideas.
And Dad... the kids can help make this breakfast - it's so easy!
About the recipes . . . These days there are many do-ahead recipes for breakfast casseroles. This recipe is one of the tastiest I've tried so far. You can buy the packaged diced ham in the meat department of your grocery store. Make it the night before and bake it the next morning. The Scrambled Egg Muffins are a "fun food" but very nutritious. The Oven-Baked Hash Browns recipe is a "tried and true" favorite of mine. I've used this recipe for years for church breakfasts.
The Cinnamon Sticky Buns are delicious and so easy to make. (The kids can help with this one.) Serve your breakfast with the Tropical Cooler Smoothie (recipe available at below) or milk, orange juice and coffee and there you have it. A delicious and easy meal to prepare that Mom will appreciate and remember forever! Oh, and don't forget to clean up the kitchen for Mom!
