Being wonderfully spoiled and courted by your own family is the very best thing there is – and we don’t mean with diamonds and pearls. What we mean is, when you get to stay in bed, listening to sneaking feet, whispers, giggles and clinking glasses and cups. And then, be surprised with breakfast in bed and homemade gifts made with love. That’s the perfect recipe of a Mother’s Day – if you ask us!
Not because breakfast in bed has to happen on Mother’s Day. But the fact that the calendar tells us it’s Mother’s Day, reminds the rest of the family to take the initiative for this appreciated courtship to actually happen.
When we once in a while get served breakfast in bed (like once a year) it normally consists of rolls, cheese, marmalade, juice, coffee and maybe a boiled egg. Definitely not fancy, but again it’s the very thought it self that counts.
But, if we were to wish for a little more luxurious version – this vegan brunch is what would be on the menu:
- Green vitamin smoothie with spinach and fresh mint
- Overnight chia with sweet kiwi
- Toasted sourdough bread with avocado and chili flakes
- And coffee, of course!!
