Since Mother’s Day is just two days away, we decided to share an idea for how to make the day start off great for your mom – breakfast in bed!
Read the full instructions for our breakfast-in-bed recipe at Build A Menu
If you are looking for very elaborate breakfasts-in-bed, I would probably be the wrong person to ask. I have made french toast, eggs (fried, I still haven’t worked out omelets yet), and pancakes, but I would be useless if you were trying to make quiche or “triple fluff bon appetit egg and cheese supreme soufflé” whatever that would be. If you can make that, I’d love to know how!
Here is a recipe for pancakes that is fairly simple. We use it a lot. For french toast I don’t use any measurements; I just stir about equal amounts of egg and milk in a bowl, dip a piece of bread in, and cook it on a griddle until it is lightly browned. You can sprinkle a little cinnamon into the egg/milk mixture, or add a splash of vanilla.
For Mother’s Day you can make your mom’s breakfast as fancy as you like, but if you want to keep it simple try our breakfast sandwich recipe that is easy enough for a six year old to make (my little brother did it all by himself last year.) We created this awesome kids’ Mother’s Day breakfast plan for Build a Menu. Because any kid who takes the time to make breakfast in bed for her mom is definitely awesome (and her mom will think so too!) Right?
Mrs. Brown adds: What mother doesn’t love to stay in bed longer AND not have to cook a meal? Moms… show this recipe to your kids and make sure to forget to set your alarm Sunday morning! 🙂

that’s such a nice table setting. Or should I say tray setting!
