I hope all the mothers out there enjoyed a wonderful Happy Mother’s Day this past weekend. I always have my parents over that day. We used to do it in the evening but this was our 3rd year with an earlier brunch format which I love. Instead of serving the plates in the kitchen, everything is laid out on the table.
Since I prepare several dishes I usually surf the net for inspiration. I wanted to thank all the bloggers who’s recipes inspired this years brunch. Clik on the links for the recipe. I did prepare a Creamy Lentil Salad of my own too. It really was a way to use up leftovers and it was success. use what every veggies you have at home.

What did you prepare for Mother’s Day?
Terrific choices! Such flavorful recipes deserve to be eaten! Yummy! I like the Irish Potato Pie 🙂
This looks so refreshing and flavorful!
WOW, what a great array of different foods! A mother’s day brunch for the ages, Evelyne 🙂 Love the look of that brussels hash…
Everything look just delicious. I will try this cake recipe.
I’ve never had a creamy lentil salad before but it does look delicious! 😀 What a lovely sounding meal all round too!
What a spread—happy belated. Love the sound of a spiced cake and those lentils!
That’s quite a meal. We ended up taking my Mom out to dinner and it was fairly pricey.
It’s a good thing all her children are (somewhat) adults with some form of employment.
Wow wow wow…what a brunch! That potato pie looks nice and hearty! What a nice daughter you are! We celebrate Mother’s Day on the 26th.
