Mother’s Day
Sometimes the best Mother’s Day gift is time and effort spent on preparing a brunch she will love. Taking her out to eat is fun, but the personal approach of cooking and serving the meal yourself is the epitome of thoughtful.
And the endeavor does not have to become time consuming or difficult. Custom kitchen cabinets can be designed with modern features that make food preparation and clean-up a breeze. These include hidden electric outlets for uninterrupted design flow, soft close sliding doors that eliminate jarring noise and organizational systems that help keep items fully accessible and easy to find. One example of the last feature is the BIN interior storage system from Arbor Mills. BIN is comprised of 60 individual components that create storage solutions for drawers and upper or lower cabinets.
The following nine recipes will also help you delight her on Mother’s Day. Curated with many different tastes in mind, these dishes cover a wide range of food types. Furthermore, each recipe is easy enough for the most novice chef to prepare. To get started, simply pick the dishes you think she will savor.

Satisfy mom’s craving for a brunch classic and keep it healthy with this frittata that substitutes whole eggs for egg whites. This dish is packed with taste and lean protein courtesy of the egg whites and lox. Lemon zest pumps up the flavor profile, adding a light, refreshing note.
