If your mother is anything like mine, whatever food you put in front of her this Sunday for Mother’s Day (or most any day) will make her happy, mostly because you made it for her and also because she did not have to lift a finger to do anything other than eat it. If you’re not sure what to make, you are reading the right post. We have recipes and you have choices.
Where to start? Well, if your mom is a drinker, along with the coffee, start her day with a bacon bloody Mary or a mimosa for atmosphere, if nothing else. Then it becomes a matter of whether you want to go sweet, savory or both.
Brighten up your winter menus with citrus 15 Recipes
15 recipes to perk up your taste buds

From December through April, sometimes May, the vivid oranges, yellows, greens and reds of California-grown citrus flood local farmers markets, produce stands and grocery stores. They add welcome brightness at a time of year when sunlight starts waning at 4 p.m. The acid in citrus also brightens flavors when we add it to what we are cooking.
Accustomed as we may be to using lemon and lime to balance the sweet and the salty, oranges and mandarins accomplish similar goals without the tart, powerful punch that lemons and limes often pack. Mandarins are particularly popular of late and lend subtle flavor nuances all their own. There are many varieties to choose from, so you may want to bone up on them before heading to the market.

One advantage to this stay-at-home holiday season is that you might be lucky enough to get time with members of your household to make meals together, discover new recipes, dig up old family ones and tell stories as you cook. Here are 63 recipe ideas for your cook-a-thon. (And remember, you can “cook” with loved ones who are far away with services such as Google Hangouts, FaceTime, Zoom or Skype.)
Start with a batch of lemon poppy seed or mesquite apple muffins, cardamom sweet rolls, ginger scones, a breakfast bread or a coffee cake. Pop them in the oven first thing and your housemates will quickly join you in the kitchen. If you haven’t yet agreed on who’s making what, start delegating tasks as they straggle in (it’s much easier than cajoling or nagging for helping hands).
