Mother's Day Brunch

These last few months have been a bit tumultuous to say the least… so many unknowns, anxieties, and stresses but I have also been amazed to see the love and strength that has come from our time at home together. I want to give a giant shout out to all of the mama’s out there who have been holding down the forts! Making meals all day, cleaning, homeschooling, and coming up with unique things to keep the kiddos entertained. It’s not easy!! Let’s make this Mother’s Day extra special for all of those mother figures out there. My love language is gathering around a table over a meal - here are a few of my simple ideas that are guaranteed to bring some laughter and happy bellies.

Spring is here and the weather has been absolutely beautiful! We have been eating outside almost every day/evening. Platters are a huge hit around our house with a busy toddler.. you can make a plate, snack, go for a bike ride then come back for more. Ok… this brunch is pretty carb heavy but sometimes mama just needs some comfort food in the midst of all of the CRAZY. We did a “ build your own biscuit bar” with lots of yummy toppings, both savory and sweet!

We used fresh berries from the shop, we are fully stocked right now so come see us! Passion fruit home made whipped cream… can I just say how delicious this is?! I can’t stop eating it. The combination of the tart gooey seeds paired with a vanilla scented creamy whip, need I say more?! I also used homemade blackberry jam from one of my best friends in Northern California.

For the savory biscuit we used shaved ham, local avocados, butter-y eggs and an herb infused mayo which was quite delicious. You could make your own mayo for this or just add fresh herbs to veganaise or regular mayonnaise. I addd basil, cilantro and parsley, chopped it very finely and mixed together! It’s amazing what a few herbs will do to boost flavor. I laughed as my pregnant sister added pickles to the platter but it was actually the perfect pairing with the rich buttery biscuits! I always sprinkle whatever nuts I have on hand on the platters I make. For this one, we used raw pecans!

Ok mama… let’s talk relaxation. This Sunday lets give mom a much needed break. Pour her a mimosa with any of our sparkling wines! We chose a sparkling called Breaking Bread 2019 Pet Nat by Kokomo Wines. It’s easy drinking, and fruit forward with notes of bing cherry and passion fruit but still has that minerality that I love.

Call me crazy, but I love the Vibes mind + body CBD drinks. The Burning Mandarin is a combination of sweet and tart organic tangerine and carrot juice infused with 25MG of Hemp CBD to improve mind and body well-being, I added a splash to our sparkling wine for an oh-so-delicious tonic.

Immaculate organic flaky biscuits and the bomb. I usually have these in my fridge, because well, they’re good and easy. Just pop them in the oven. It only takes about 17 minutes and they are golden brown and pair well with so many meals! These were easy to pull out of the oven and serve with this pretty platter.

We have some new pastries from SunOven Bakery that we now carry at the shop. Can I just tell you how amazing these gluten free/vegan cinnamon rolls are?! I was skeptical at first because, well, I love me some gluten. My entire family (we are quarantined with my sister and brother-in-law) and they all ate them up - even my husband! They have an amazing consistency and texture and are still gooey and sweet and a tad salty. All of the things. I made a little frosting that turned out more like a glaze that I drizzled over the top which added the perfect amount of sweetness. I highly recommend! They also have doughnuts that are gluten free and vegan and they are so so tasty.

Wah lah! It was tasty and simple and we grazed on these platters for over an hour. Our shop is a one-stop-shop for all of the goodies you’ll need to make Mother’s Day extra special this year. On Saturday the 9th, we’ll have Lionello Orchids out front of our building selling their local orchids. Pick up fresh flowers, some pastries, fresh fruit and maybe a facial skin mask for mama! We appreciate you all for supporting our shop, especially during this time!
