💐 Tips for Making Your Vegan Mother's Day Brunch Extra Special
Want to pull off a stress-free brunch that still looks totally impressive? These simple ideas will help you make Mother's Day brunch feel extra special without the stress.
- Serve breakfast in bed: Surprise Mom with a bed tray table (like this one) of warm pancakes, fresh fruit, and coffee or tea. Don't forget a sweet handwritten note or card!
- Pick up (or pick) fresh flowers: A small bouquet from the garden, wildflowers, or florist adds a beautiful touch to any table or breakfast tray.
- Set the table like it's a celebration: Use your favorite dishes, cloth napkins, or a fun tablecloth, and turn on her favorite playlist to set the mood.
- Make some dishes ahead of time: Choose recipes you can prep the night before, like lemon loaf, banana bread, strawberry oat bars, cinnamon buns, chocolate muffins, or no-bake berry cake (yum) to keep the morning easy and relaxed.
- Keep everything warm in the oven: Set your oven to 200°F (95°C) and store any finished dishes that are best served warm (such as pancakes, French toast, potato dishes, vegan bacon, or tofu scramble) there until you're ready to serve, so everything stays warm and cozy. Store dishes best served cold (such as salads or smoothies in the fridge).
- Don't forget the drinks: Brew a pot of your mom's favorite coffee or tea and serve it with homemade cinnamon dolce syrup. Blend up a fun smoothie (like mint chocolate chip or a classic green smoothie), or shake things up with mimosas or vegan Caesar cocktails (like a Bloody Mary, only better!).
- Clean up afterward: Especially if your mom normally does the cleaning, the best gift might just be handling the dishes while Mom puts her feet up!
