Today, I’ve gathered up my favoriteMother’s Day Recipes (keeping them light, fresh, and springy for the most part) for brunch, dinner, dessert, and of course, drinks… because sometimes mama needs a co*cktail. 😉
As my sister and I got older, we loved making my mom dinner for Mother’s Day. I remember one year we attempted to make a gigantic roast chicken with a bunch of sides and these really complicated caramel stuffed coconut cakes for dessert.
