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?

Gorgeous! Any momma would be lucky to get this tomorrow! And I love hearing about you and your Mom’s great relationship. There’s nothing like your mom. P.S. I totally love the blueberry on a stick for garnish, mental note to use that on future drink styling! 🙂
Thank you so much, Nicole!! 🙂

Ha! My husband is one of six boys with only one girl. I kind of love that brand of crazy. Happy Mother’s Day to your mom. She is definitely blessed.
I love these crepes. The lemon ricotta is calling to me, and I am patiently waiting (ahem, not patiently at all) for strawberry season to come my way. Have a wonderful weekend, Teighan!
Thanks so much, Shaina!

What a sweet post and an amazing breakfast for an amazing mama! Like you and your mom, I’m best friends with mine, too! We’ve had our ups and downs and differences for sure (Aquarians and Taurans aren’t usually the best of friends) but we know that no matter what, we’ll always love each other dearly.
This breakfast spread is incredible and I’m sure your mom will be wowed by it all!
Moms are the best of friends ever!! 🙂
