Mother's Day Treats

Each year, you get ready the Mother's Day Card, the Mother's Day Gift and the flowers to celebrate this special day with your Mom . . .

How about making this year extra special with a Unique Mother's Day Gift - a Mother's Day meal prepared with tender loving care by you for your dear Mother.

Begin by thinking of what her favorite foods are, and  what's in season that's special.

To give you a further head start, here are some suggestions to inspire you . . .

Starter Ideas . . .

Try your hand at creating some finger food; it's easy & quick.

To prepare this Salmon Starter, top crackers with tomato or lettuce slices, then spread on some cream cheese and plant rolled slices of smoked salmon on to finish.

Or perhaps your mother would like a light salad as an appetizer?

In this case, assemble a mixture of her favorite vegetables; be sure to include bright colorful ingredients like red peppers or tomatoes.  Add some fruit for a refreshing tangy taste.  For the Mandarin Salad here, I've added wedges of tangerines.  You can also use fruits that are currently in season to flavor up your salad creation.  Finally, mix up a light dressing, like honey mustard or oil & balsamic vinegar, and toss  with your salad.
