Families throughout Vancouver take time on Mother's Day to celebrate the love and labour provided by their mothers. Fathers and children hoping to create a special day for mom have many options. You could cook for her or pamper her in some other way. Whatever you decide, choosing organic ingredients demonstrates an extra level of thoughtfulness toward her health and happiness.
Breakfast in Bed
This is the classic reward for the woman who gets up and works hard every day. A luxurious breakfast in bed will make her feel like royalty.
Because you know her best, let her preferences guide your choice for the menu. Pancakes or waffles with maple syrup rarely disappoint. If you and the kids have some skills in the kitchen, consider delighting her with a sumptuous plate of eggs Benedict pancakes accompanied by a cup of organic coffee.
Mother's Day Brunch
You may like a more formal gathering, such as a brunch. Start it off by presenting her with a bouquet of flowers and then serve her a grapefruit mimosa. You can replace the Champagne with sparkling water if you want.
Mother's Day Dinner
Mom will appreciate being excused from dinner duty for the day. When planning your menu, look over the sales promotions at an organic grocery store in Vancouver for fresh produce and other ingredients.
Two tasty recipes that don't require gourmet skills are lemon herb salmon and chicken piccata.
Desserts Always Win
Mom probably wants a sweet treat. You can prepare a dessert to accompany a brunch or dinner or just make her a dessert. Great choices for Mother's Day include this delightfully pink rhubarb upside down cake and no-bake strawberry tart.
If mom is a chocoholic, visit a health foods store to select a high-quality cocoa for these chewy chocolate cookies.
Nontoxic Skincare
Mother's Day does not have to be just about food either. Help mom remove unwanted substances from her beauty routine. Pack a gift basket with natural skincare products from a health foods store near you.
Don't Forget to Clean Up
No matter what you do, don't leave a big mess for her. You or the kids should clean the kitchen and make sure she doesn't have to lift a finger.
