Make Brunch for Mom
You're the center of her life, whether you know it or not! It goes way beyond the simple DNA connection, to the many experiences you've shared through the days, and probably more than a few long nights. One day to celebrate Mom, just doesn't seem enough!

IN THIS ISSUE, we're equipping you with a few ideas for celebrating Mother's Day - both gifts and recipes for a brunch celebration that might include one or all of these recipes: rich Vanilla Raspberry Muffins, a fabulous Brussels Sprouts and Bacon Frittata, and wonderful Mini Strawberry Galettes. Mom will be most impressed!
