30+ Real-Food Mother’s Day Brunch Ideas!

Mother’s Day is right around the corner. If you’re planning a brunch for the special day, I’ve got over 30 ideas for you!

Now, I definitely believe in indulging for special occasions: if someone is serving something completely unhealthy at a family gathering, I go ahead and enjoy it. You’ve gotta live a little. But I also enjoy real-food versions of unhealthy treats (e.g. pancakes from scratch vs boxed pancake mix). They generally taste better in my experience, and don’t make you feel gross afterwards.

So without further ado, here are the recipes!
