Cooking for Mom

by Chuck O., May 8, 2009 | Permalink

I was thinking about how many people will be taking their mothers to brunch on Sunday and how many more will be buying flowers for them.  I will probably be doing the same things.  Actually, I will definitely be doing the Mother’s Day brunch thing at Tremont 647 so only the flowers are “probably”.

Anyway, what I was thinking was what if you wanted to do both and were trying to figure out what it would cost you which leads me to a plug for our Double Dozen of Roses for just $19.99.  You can find this and our other specials on our store web page by clicking on the “specials” icon in the upper right hand corner-

If you got the two dozen roses, Mom will love more than your siblings… joking.  It’s not a competition.  The main thing is that you’d have extra money leftover to take her to brunch.  Dad, too, if he’s in town.

All of this aside, I am actually going to recommend that you prepare brunch at home for your mother.  Whether you live alone in a fabulous loft in the South End or with 2 or 3 roommates in JP, I really think Mom would appreciate a home cooked brunch more than restaurant food- especially considering all the meals she’s prepared for you!

You’ll find hundreds of recipes on our web site.  Choose a few simple ones or choose one complex dish and roundout the meal with a couple easier “sides”.

Whatever you prepare, I think you should try to include this amazing coffeecake.  It was developed as a “healthy makeover” in response to a Whole Foods Market customer inquiry and posted on our national blog.  Click on the photo for the recipe.

So, come get the roses and maybe go with simple scambled eggs, cage-free, of course, and bacon or sausage, and perhaps a simple salad of assorted cut fruits- berries look really good today- AND the blueberry coffeecake.  Let us know how things turn out.

After looking at the coffeecake photo and the recipe, I’m thinking of cancelling my reservation.  Happy Mother’s Day!
