Mother's Day Breakfast in Bed

Mother's Day is a wonderful day to treat your wife to breakfast in bed. After all, your wife helped you bring beautiful children into this world. Don't you think she deserves to be treated like a queen, at least one day out of the year? Besides, the hardest part of creating breakfast in bed is getting out of bed before she does. The rest is a piece of cake; you just have to be prepared.

Mother's Day Breakfast in Bed: Preparation

Preparing a wonderful breakfast in bed involves more than just making a delicious meal. A week before Mother's Day I suggest going out a buying a card for your wife. If you wait until the last minute, you will not have a good selection of cards to choose from. Find a card that explains how much you love her and how lucky you are to have her because she is the perfect mother. Also, to make it special, write a note in the card.

The day before Mother's Day, go and find a nice bouquet of flowers. Tulips are a wonderful spring flower and if your wife enjoys gardening, you could buy her potted tulips that she could plant in the yard. Of course, you will need to hide these flowers until you surprise her with breakfast in bed. To do so, I suggest placing them in a place where she would never look, like in the tool shed. Make sure the flowers have enough water so that they will be beautiful the next morning. On this day you will also need to pick up the ingredients for the breakfast in bed menu you will be preparing. These can either be hidden at a neighbor's house or behind ingredients she would never touch.

The night before Mother's Day, prepare as much of the food as possible. This will help to ensure that you get the meal finished before she wakes up. You will need to do this preparation after she's gone to bed or while she's in shower.

Mother's Day Breakfast in Bed: Sample Menu

This is just a sample menu. You can prepare anything you are comfortable with making. The truth is your wife would be happy if you surprised her with fast food on Mother's Day. The fact that you went out of your way to prepare her breakfast in bed is enough.

Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
Coffee
Sausage or Bacon
Banana and Walnut Stuffed French Toast
Fresh Fruit

Preparing fresh squeezed orange juice is really easy. You don't need a fancy juicer to do this, but you will need a lot of oranges. Before serving this to your wife, pour some into another glass and make sure it's sweet enough. If it isn't, slowly add more sugar until it becomes sweet enough. Now, I realize that the stuffed French toast may sound intimidating, but it's actually really easy. To prepare this dish, you will need to cut thick slices of French bread and then make a pocket in the bread. Mix together slices of banana, brown sugar, and chopped walnuts, then stuff this mixture into the bread slices. Then dip the French toast in a mixture of eggs, milk, and sugar. Fry the French toast in a little butter and then top with powdered sugar. Be sure to remember maple syrup when you give your wife breakfast in bed.

Your wife will really appreciate this gift on Mother's Day!
