Tips for the best Mother’s Day brunch

  1. Plan ahead: Choose all the recipes you’re going to make and print them on paper if needed. Once you have your menu ready, plan your shopping list and have all the ingredients ready before Mother’s day.
  2. Prep ahead: Chop any vegetables that can be chopped ahead of time. Some of the recipes here can be prepared, or partially prepared in advance which will save you a lot of time.
  3. Have it all ready: Choose the serving platters and utensils you’re going to use and set them aside. Wash and iron the napkins if needed and set the table a day in advance. These might seem like small tasks, but once done a day ahead, you have a lot of free time on the day of the brunch to enjoy with your loved ones.
