Mum is the Word
Sunday is Mother’s Day – the day that we celebrate the mums and mum-figures in our lives. As a mummy to two small children, it is easy to make my day: a proper cup of tea, brought to me in bed, and no arguing. One of these is way harder to achieve than the other.
Either way. There will be an attempt at something – a card, a breakfast – which will make my kitchen messy. Cleaning that up would be nice too …
So, for the easily-pleased and food-led mums like me, here are some easy breakfast ideas that we can encourage the children to make – with limited mess!
Baked Dippy Eggs
Ingredients
1 large slice of ham
8 small spinach leaves
8 cherry tomatoes
4 eggs
1 matchbox-size piece of cheese
4 slices of bread , toasted, buttered and cut into dippers to eat with them
This is such a lovely idea from Hoosier Homemade, and nearly any fruit works with it.
Ingredients:
Glass gems, glass container/vase
Floral Foam/Styrofoam
Bamboo Skewers
Pineapple
Kiwi
Oranges
Grapes {green and red}
Strawberries
Honey Dew Melon
A simple breakfast to make, but tasty and so pretty, from B-InspiredMama.
Ingredients:
Cinnamon swirl or plain bagel
Plain of flavoured cream cheese
Strawberries, hulled and halved
Blueberries
Pancakes with Bacon and Maple Syrup
I think this must be my favourite - who does not like bacon and maple syrup pancakes? And, Sainsbury’s sells them pre-made too - no mess!
Ingredients:
8 rashers chestnut-smoked back bacon
375g ready-made plain pancakes
4 tbsp maple syrup
Ingredients:
Avocado
Lime juice
Fresh chives
Kosher salt and pepper
Artisan-style bread
Unsalted butter (Though, I would argue for the salted option!)
Eggs
Ingredients:
2 mangos - peeled, seeded, and sliced
2 bananas
2 cups vanilla yogurt
2 cups milk
Obviously, we mums do not need to be supervising the making - or do we?
Wishing all the mums, in all the capacities, a wonderful and happy Mother’s Day, this Sunday.
