With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, it’s time to start planning how to shower one of the most important women in your life with love, and one of the best ways to pamper her is by bringing her breakfast in bed.
Breakfast in bed is a classic Mother’s Day gesture, and there are plenty of ways to make it special. Here are some tips for making breakfast in bed, and ways to put your Ergo Spout® and mason jars to use for Mom’s special meal.
Whether you’re keeping it a secret or she knows exactly what you’re up to (most likely the latter), plan your Mother’s Day breakfast ahead of time. There are lots of details that need to be sorted prior to the morning, so make sure you have your menu planned, and even some of the food prepared in advance.
For example, if you’re making an egg bake, mix it up the night before. If most of your menu requires assembly of ingredients, like English muffins or a bowl of oatmeal, gather your ingredients the night before so you can immediately begin preparing in the morning.
Putting in just a smidgen of planning beforehand will make a huge difference on Sunday morning.
Serving your mother breakfast in bed already requires a lot of effort - there’s no need for a five course meal. Instead, keep it simple with a couple of her favorite things. Stick to options that you can put together in 10 minutes or less. The longest menu item to make should be the pot of coffee.
Try to keep things clean, too. Remember, you’re bringing this to her bed, so you want to avoid anything that’s too messy. Keep syrups in a mason jar with an Ergo Spout® on top and avoid excessively flaky and crumbly foods. Mom will be happy to have breakfast in bed, but she’ll be happier if she doesn’t have to clean up a mess afterward. Don't forget to clean up the kitchen when you're done!
While you want to keep the meal pretty basic, you should also add one flourish to elevate the breakfast. Here are a couple easy ones:
