For some reason Mother’s Day is always about a *light* brunch, yeesh -what if your mom likes super-heavy fried chicken+mashed potatoes+biscuits like me?? Hm. Whatever – tradition says dainty, light ‘brunch, brunch, brunch’ so here are a few of my fave sweet brunch recipes. (You can always serve it with a side of fried chicken.)

I love this idea – which would be perfect for a brunch, especially if mom is a fan of bacon:

At Can You Stay For Dinner:And no, I’ll never again share a photo of two sweet ‘n’ gritty cornbread pancakes acting as the bread in which I stuffed crisp applewood smoked bacon strips, thick slices of vine ripened tomatoes, crispy green leaf lettuce, and crumbly blue cheese.

I just won’t, okay?

And I’m not going to tell you how delicious it was.

This is a fabulous idea!

Check out this adorable ‘carrot’ filled with egg salad from Hungry Happenings– a fun addition to an easter brunch, maybe?

From the site: There is only one spring day that starts off with your family running around the yard in search of decorated eggs. Easter Sunday is quite unique in that respect.  After our Easter egg hunts we have always gathered up our decorated eggs and whisked them off to the kitchen to add some Miracle Whip before turning them into deviled eggs or egg salad.  It’s a simple recipe, just two ingredients, but one I still enjoy even though my palate has been expanded immensely over the years. I know everyone has their own favorite recipe for these classic dishes and am certain that many (most, maybe) of you enjoy them on Easter.

The menu included Deathstar Cantaloupe, Mr Slushie Dogs, Roast Bantha, and even Platypus Eggs!

(Thanks to the Evil Mad Scientists for the Deathstar Cantaloupe idea!)
