Mother's Day

Mother's Day is right around the corner and my husband and I are looking forward to hosting this year; both of our mothers will be coming. We'll be eating at noon but I'm on the fence about whether I'd like to serve brunch or lunch. I do enjoy making brunch foods more than lunch foods so I am guessing that is the way I'll go. We'll also be attending a wedding the night before so I think brunch foods are easier to make ahead than lunch, which will be helpful.

What foods are you making (or looking forward to having made for you) on Mother's Day? Are there any foods that you have as a tradition year after year? A

Boy, you have some lucky mother. Brunch would be my choice. (I am a mother, and oh yes - and a grandmother.) I'm one of those mothers that don't like to cook but I must as no one will do it for me:)

I'm getting hungry already.............I'm sure your selection will be great.

Thank you for the vote of confidence, Onedish!

Mother's Day is only a few days away and I'm still on the fence about what to make. If I don't do brunch foods I'm thinking about grilling pork tenderloin and serving it with roasted potatoes and asparagus. I can marinate the pork tenderloin overnight so not only would it be quick and easy for me on Sunday but the pork will have great flavor.

I think I'd go for a really great lemon dessert to top it off. I'd prefer to use something fresh and local for dessert but I think it's still a bit too early to use the rhubarb from my garden and it's definitely too early for strawberries up here in Wisconsin!
