Simple Ways to Make Mom Feel Special – Straight From Your Kitchen

Simple Ways to Make Mom Feel Special – Straight From Your Kitchen

Because great meals and sweet gestures speak louder than gifts.

Tired of the Same Brunch Reservations?

If you've ever waited an hour for a Mother's Day table only to get rushed through a mediocre brunch, you're not alone...

It doesn't need to be complicated. A few thoughtful touches and pantry-friendly seasonings can turn a simple spread into something that feels truly special. Whether you're celebrating your own mom, the mother of your kids, or just honoring a woman who means a lot, a little kitchen love goes a long way.

Thoughtful Recipes She'll Remember

Mother's Day doesn't have to be a multi-course affair. A simple brunch board filled with her favorites, elevated with just a little flavor magic, is all it takes.

Here’s one idea that feels both fancy and effortless:

Truffle Deviled Eggs

  • 6 hardboiled eggs
  • 3 tbsp mayo
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Shawhan Farms Truffle Infused Parmesan Seasoning
  • Optional: chives or microgreens for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Slice eggs in half and remove yolks.
  2. Mash yolks with mayo, mustard, and Truffle seasoning until smooth.
  3. Pipe or spoon the filling into egg whites.
  4. Top with garnish if you're feeling extra.

Want to keep it even simpler? Stir the same seasoning into softened butter for a Truffle Butter Crostini—just spread on toast and serve with sliced radishes, strawberries, or avocado.

Get the Kids Involved

  • Heart-shaped cinnamon toast (use a cookie cutter)
  • Fruit skewers stacked in rainbow order
  • "Mommosas" made with orange juice and sparkling water

These small gestures go a long way in making moms feel seen and celebrated.

Other Ways to Elevate the Day

  • A handwritten menu on notebook paper
  • A sprig of herbs from the windowsill tucked in a napkin ring
  • Playing her favorite music while the coffee brews
