A little Mother's Day idea

When I was growing up, it was our tradition on Mother's day to create some sort of wondrous (?!) breakfast in the kitchen (usually bacon and eggs and fresh squeezed orange juice - often leaving a huge mess) and bring it to her in bed.

As I was thinking along these lines, it popped into my head that a delightful thing to do this Mother's day could be to take your mum down to the local farmer's markets, buy the freshest seasonal ingredients, and the make her a scrummy brunch. Maybe pear/banana pancakes (pears and bananas are in season in Australia) or scrambled eggs with fresh tomatoes, mushrooms and spinach...What a lovely way to spend a morning.


Or maybe you could buy the ingredients to put together something sweet for afternoon tea. These apple and almond cakes from MindFood look particularly irresistible.
