By Judith Yamada, Kitchen Maven

Mothers’ Day is just around the corner on Sunday May 14, 2023. There are many ways to convey your love and appreciation to your favorite mom, on this special occasion. Helping her around the house, running an errand, walking her dog, or taking her to a movie are all generous gestures. But if you like to cook, almost every mom I know loves surprise breakfasts in bed, alongside mugs of fresh brewed coffee or cream topped cocoa, and most of those ladies also enjoy afternoon tea partnered with homemade treats. Appreciate and coddle that matriarch in your life from time to time, and whether she’s new to the role or a grandma great she’ll love you for thinking of her.  Here’s a quick and easy springtime recipe mom will enjoy any time of day.

And those mums learning to cook and bake creatively on a budget will love receiving a helpful Mothers’ Day cookbook using fresh seasonal ingredients and pantry staples like Kitchen Maven’s “Thrifty Comfort Cooking for Challenging Times”. It’s available online through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Powell’s Books. All author royalties go directly to the Tillamook Oregon Food Bank.
