Whether your Mother's Day brunch is a small, immediate family gathering, or you're planning to cook for a crowd, this easy Mother's Day brunch menu will impress your guests, and leave you enough time to enjoy being with them.
- Strawberry Smoothies -- Start off with something cool and refreshing. These strawberry smoothies are just the ticket. Icy and sweet, this smoothie recipe tastes like a milkshake, but it's surprisingly healthy.
- Banana Bread -- Set out this moist banana bread as an appetizer with butter or cream cheese for nibbling before the meal, or put it on the table for munching with brunch. Either way, your guests will gobble up this chocolate-chip-studded banana bread in no time flat!
- Hash Brown Egg Casserole -- I love this all-in-one breakfast casserole, because it has everything you could want in a brunch dish: eggs, cheese, bacon, onion and peppers. You can even make it a day ahead of time.
- Steel Cut Oatmeal -- Have guests who don't like eggs? No problem! They can enjoy this deliciously wholesome oatmeal. Top it with sliced bananas and walnuts for an oatmeal they won't soon forget.
Even better: You make this oatmeal the night before in the Crockpot. Just be sure to use steel cut oatmeal or Irish oatmeal -- not rolled oats.
- Chocolate Covered Strawberries -- Could there be a more special way to end a Mother's Day brunch? These chocolate covered strawberries really make a statement. Be sure to look for locally-grown strawberries if you live in an area where they're in season around Mother's Day. You'll notice the difference in taste.
