When I started gathering recipes for Mother’s Day, there were so many things I wanted to include.

Finally, I narrowed it down to what I’d love to have someone cook for me. Dishes with enough flair (and maybe even a little “chi chi”) to be special that are still very do-able. And then I tried to narrow that down to my all-time faves, just a few in each category. I hope you’ll find something to inspire you. If not, check around.

Happy Mother’s Day, all.
