As the backbone of most families, mothers make our lives and world so much better. Mother’s Day is a special time of year when we get to shower our mom, grandma, or the mother of our children with appreciation for all her hard work, sacrifices, care, and love.
And what do moms want more than anything? Hint — it’s not a bouquet of flowers or a card. Rest, relaxation, and a little pampering! Breakfast in bed is a time-honored tradition to let her start her day on the right note. Here are some healthy and delicious recipes to give your favorite lady a little bit of what she’s given you for so long.
