What to make on Mother’s Day?
When it comes to celebrating mom, something sweet always comes to mind. While we don’t always have the time to make from scratch recipes, that doesn’t mean we need to sacrifice flavor.

How can I make Mother’s Day extra Special?
It doesn’t have to be time consuming or cost lots of money to make your mom feel special. Just taking the time to show them you care is enough.
Although, if you are looking for a way to make it extra special try having breakfast ready for mom. Add a simple bouquet of flowers and one of the recipes below. If you are looking for something savory, try this Ham Breakfast Casserole or Pigs in a Blanket Casserole.
You could also plan an easy lunch that includes dessert. Take it to your favorite park for a picnic and let mom enjoy some fresh air. These Chicken Parmesan Sliders are a great picnic option.
If dinner is when you want to celebrate, set the table nicely and leave a sweet note on her plate. Serve Cowboy Cornbread Casserole or Lasagna Skillet with one of the below mother’s day dessert recipes.
