Mother's Day and brunch go hand in hand. And the whole concept is made even better if you've decided that this year, you're going to go ahead and plan for a homemade brunch for Mom (or your grandma, aunt, sister, friend, etc!). Before you think the undertaking is too big, we've compiled a list of our best Mother's Day brunch recipes that are super easy to create — some of them can even be made before the big day so Sunday morning won't be as hectic. Whether your mom likes something on the sweeter side (pancakes, muffins, tarts), or something a bit more savory (eggs, bacon, pizza), we've got an idea that will wow her.
Once you pick what you'll make, be sure to think about what drink you'll want to serve up. Any option from lemonade to a Champagne cocktail will work. And also think about what else you'll be gifting the special woman in your life — maybe a Mother's Day dessert? Or a homemade present? Either way, after you make her brunch, she'll know just how much you appreciate her.
