We all want to see a smile on Mom’s face this Mother’s Day. She deserves a special treat for all that she does, so why not make that treat something delicious? There is nothing better to wake up to in the morning than the smell of a home-cooked meal, ready to be enjoyed! Pamper Mom with a thoughtful Breakfast in Bed to show her how much you care. We picked out three delicious recipes from our website’s collection for you to prepare for Mom with love this Sunday!

Mom will definitely appreciate the presentation and taste of each of these refreshing recipes. One is creamy and fluffy, another is sweet just like Mom, and one even has a bit of a kick! Whether you present her with all or just one of these yummy picks, breakfast in bed is a great start to a happy Mother’s Day.

After you finish cooking the french toast and spooning out the apricot sauce, this recipe calls for a finale of sweet blueberries as a topper. You will find only the freshest blueberry pints in our Fresh Foods stores for Mom to enjoy. All together, this recipe has only a 15 minute preparation time and a 12 minute cooking time, leaving you plenty of extra wiggle room to try out another recipe to pair with it!

The fresh fruit salsa ties everything together, expertly balancing out the kick with a little sweetness.
