Mother’s Day Breakfast Isn’t Special If It’s for Everyone
I don’t know anything about having or raising children, but I know a lot about making breakfast and brunch, especially breakfast and brunch, which go a long way. If you’re planning on making the biggest breakfast for your mom in your life, I have one piece of advice: cook food just for her .
It might sound nice to enjoy a plate of pancakes with the whole family, but you can do it any old Sunday, and narrowing the serving size down to “one” means you can focus on that plate and only that plate and cook it. really cute. Preparing a fancy breakfast is easy, but difficult to expand, especially if you’re not the family member who prepares most of the meal.
Rather than preparing breakfast or brunch that is “good for the crowd,” prepare a perfectly composed plate of food for one person – the person in question. Taking kids (and yourself) out of the equation means you don’t have to take their picky tastes into account, and downscaling means you can afford more expensive ingredients. Instead of the classic Canadian bacon Benedict, cook it with crab meat. Instead of Donald Duck’s Orange Juice with Cook’s Sparkling Wine, give her a bottle of Veuve Clicquot (and don’t add any juice to it). Instead of fluffy pancakes, make Suzette pancakes. Even if all you do is buy some really good bagels, you can get it right and include as many smoked fish (and capers and onions) as Mom wants.
But what about children, you ask? Let them eat porridge, hard-boiled eggs, or something similar without much effort. Although they are the reason Mom gets this day, the day itself is not about them . Depending on their age and desire to be in the kitchen, you can still get them to help: they can decorate cookies, make postcards, fold napkins, or polish silver. (I don’t know the right age to learn how to chop a bottle of champagne , but it seems to me that it is now 12 years old).
