How to Make Breakfast in Bed For Mother's Day

By Richard Mongiovi

There just seems to be nothing more luxurious than eating breakfast in bed, and since mother is typically the one who prepares breakfast for the entire family, treating her to a special breakfast in bed for Mother's Day is an added pleasure. When you are ready to make your Mother feel like a queen, here are some simple instructions that will help you do it right. Planning is Important.

Anyone can just throw together something that is already in the refrigerator, but remember this breakfast is for your mother and she deserves a little extra effort. A few days in advance write out your menu and then pick up the ingredients that will be needed from your local grocers. Be sure to add a rose or two or her favorite flower to your list and take the time to make it look great in a small vase or finger bowl that is not top heavy.

Moms have favorite breakfast foods too, so be sure you know what hers are, but also remember that most women like a variety of different foods as well, so make your selections wisely when you are preparing your special meal.

Since breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, you will want to make sure your Mom has everything she needs to get her day started off right. That might be with pancakes or waffles drizzled in butter and syrup with a small bowl full of strawberries or blueberries to top it off with. Then again, it might be just as appreciated if you decide to prepare scones or biscuits for a taste tempting treat.

Just be sure that when you do make breakfast in bed for Mother's Day that you have a proper tray to serve it on. You would not want anything tumbling off the tray and making a mess that Mom would feel obligated to clean up. By the same token you might want to avoid anything that is drippy or extra crumbly which could lead to an uncomfortable condition for Mom while she is in bed or could stain the bedding.

Fruits are always good additions to any meal served in bed, but be sure they are peeled and cut up in bite sized portions for ease in eating.

Muffins are perfect staples for the breakfast meal and are easy to eat, but some people prefer having something a bit heartier as well. Scrambled or poached eggs are easy to make and always appreciated, especially when something sweet is added like a favorite jam or jelly to spread on toast of a good biscuit or scone or that blueberry muffin you selected.

Mothers are really not that hard to please; they appreciate any little bit of attention they can get to make them feel special. However, it is always a good idea to go the extra mile to make this special person feel like a queen with her own special and luxurious Mother's Day breakfast in bed.
