If you love your mom, then you will want to make her this on Sunday.
You will also need to buy her pretty flowers.
I do not care how predictable they are, flowers are awesome and they can cheer even the the dreariest (or in our case, snowiest — yup, it’s happening again over here) days right up.
Buy her flowers.
I think it is pretty obvious, but I am best friends with my mom. We have kind of a special bond because one, for sixteen years I was her only little girl. She had five boys and one girl…until she went for her seventh kid (my parents are crazy) and little Asher came into the picture.
Thanks for ruining it for me Asher.
Just kidding. We all know I love that little five-year old to death!
My mom wasnt always sure about me though. Nope, for the first hour or so of my life she was terrified of having a girl. Meaning she totally expected me to be her fourth boy, but since she has never once found out the sex of her kids it was a little bit of a shock when I came into the world. She says she was just unsure of how she felt about having a girl. Aww thanks, mom.
Thankfully she got over it and then she started trying to dress me in pink dresses and girly hats. I hated it, I wanted to be one of the boys. Boxers were my choice of underwear for longer than I care to admit. Somewhere down the road things switched and I got into clothes, but I can still hang with the boys – no problem.
The second reason we are so close?
We have been through a lot of ups and down together. I can positively say, I would be nowhere, but lost without her. This is why every Mother’s Day instead buying her gifts she’ll probably return, I buy her flowers and make her breakfast, lunch, dinner and of course dessert. Yeah, I do the full day. Breakfast is always the best though.
Typically this meal would include chocolate, but this year I wanted to switch things up.
Crepes are probably one of my mom’s favorite foods. Normally I am all about crepes and chocolate, but I have really been inspired by color lately. Meaning I have come up with recipe ideas based on a color palate. No joke. I know it sounds a little crazy, but FYI, it is totally working.
So I went with a non-chocolate crepe and added some ricotta like you would with a Blintz.
Actually, these are basically Blintzes that have been cooked like you would french toast. But they are better than french toast and better than Blintzes. So much better.
Everything can be prepared the night before, which makes things so much easier the next morning. And to be honest, they’re not even that much work. Especially if you break things up.
Also, you have to, have to, make some coconut whipped cream. It literally melts over the warm crepes, and combined with the strawberries it makes for one amazing bite.
Also, make her this drink.
Because every breakfast/brunch needs a good drink. My mom HAS to have hot chocolate every single morning. It is like her coffee, so on Mother’s Day she will get a little of both. Weird combo? Yeah, definitely, but it’s Mother’s Day and since mothers are the best, we have to go all out. Two drinks it is!
If your kids are just too young to make this for you, call in the best friend, the husband or if you have to, just make it yourself. Whatever you gotta do.
And if you’re not a mother and Mom is too far away 🙁 Well, enjoy the quiet (it’s never quiet here) and take some time to make this for just for YOU! You’ll thank yourself for a dang good breakfast. I mean, enjoy this time while you can, you know?

I mean, just look at that. I can’t even handle the deliciousness.
I am just in awe of you. Will you come make breakfast for me on Mother’s Day? 🙂
Thank you!! You are so sweet! 🙂
What a lucky Mom! The array of pics from flowers to crepes is absolutely gorgeous! My daughter and I are very close too. She is 14 and I pray she will always be my best friend 🙂
She will be! I do not think I could never not talk or at least text with my mom once a day!
Thanks Liz!
you make three meals for your mom?! you are putting us all to shame! these crepes are gorgeous though. i’ll be too far away from my mom but i’ll have to celebrate being a…. mom to the farm cats! just to eat these.
Haha, I actually did not today. But sometimes! 🙂
What a nice story and I bet your mom will love all of it! It’s so sweet! The breakfast looks absolutely delicious and the flowers are such a wonderful color!
Thank you so much!

It is! HA! Thanks so much, Georgia! Hope you had a great day today!! 🙂
These crepes are mind-blowing gorgeous! The strawberries, the filling, the crepes…gahh!! I want it all in front of my face right now. What an amazing Mother’s Day breakfast this would make! 🙂 pinned.

Thans Laura! Hope you had a great weekend!
Wow – I know what you’re saying about all the colors! These photos are great! Love that this can be made ahead – might just have to make this for Mother’s Day for me! Although my husband is the crepe master in the family – another winner here Tieghan!
Oh I hope you did! 🙂
Thanks so much, Kathy and I hope you had a great day today!
These may just be too beautiful to eat!!! I love your relationship with your Mom I’m extremely close with my Mom too. How great to have you take care of all of the cooking for the entire day..sounds like an awesome gift.
Thanks so much!! We have to keep our moms happy! 🙂
So sweet! I was already planning on getting my mom flowers, but now I need to make her some of these crepes! Truly stunning photos!
Thanks so much!
Hey, I just started getting into crepes… and I do love my mother, so I guess I know what I’m making her! Thanks for sharing.
Crepes are the way to her heart! 🙂
Ok. we are TOTAL brain twins. I posted a whipped lemon ricotta stuffed crepe with strawberry sauce on Monday! SUCH A GOOD COMBO. I LOVE that you added coconut whip though….I’m obsessed. And these photos? GORG. Pinned!
I saw your crepes! YUMM!!
Thanks Taylor! Hope you had a great weekend!
Tieghan, these photos are so gorgeous! They look a little different from your usual photos (which are also beautiful)–it’s inspiring to see what you’ve done with the color wheel. I think I will have to try using one. Also, I would like to vanilla stew all the strawberries! Pinned.
Thank you so much, Becky!!
Yummy!!! Never would have thought you could make french toast with crepes.
What is the difference in the juice in this picture and the one you say to make her this drink??
The juice in the photo is just some fancy looking orange juice. HA!
Thanks Charlotte!
