For Mother’s Day this year I decided to throw a Mother’s Day Brunch for the moms in my life. We never do anything special to celebrate Mother’s Day except little gifts and a family dinner which is fun but I wanted more. So this year I invited my Mom, Oma, Aunt (aka Wine Mother – it’s a thing), Grandmother and Godmother (also an Aunt) over to my place for wine, food, company, flowers and group photos!
Can you guess which one is my Mom? Hint – We’re making the same face! Of course we are.
We ate a lot of food! Like fruit salad:
Biscuits with Black Currant Jam, Speculoos and Orange Honey Earth Balance:
Mini Farinatas with Mushroom Relish
Vegan Honey Mustard Chicken Salad (recipe below!) and so much more!
The Mother’s Day Brunch was beautiful and fun! It was really great to be surrounded by such strong and wonderful women. I hope everyone had as great a Mother’s Day as I did!
And because it was just so good, here’s the recipe for the Vegan Honey Mustard Chicken Salad. Yum!
