Gluten Free Mothers Day Brunch Pancake Recipe

gluten free recipes

Mother’s Day, breakfast in bed, a single rose on a beautiful tray… myth or reality?

 

I don’t think I have ever been served breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day but I have been made breakfast. Being gluten free for over 20 years means I didn’t eat a lot of pancakes, muffins, scones and other wheat-filled products. The gluten free versions never seemed to taste as good. Fortunately, as more and more people are following a gluten free diet, the food industry is producing more and more options and they are getting tastier all the time. Chefs are getting more creative, there are numerous gluten free websites and cookbooks out there to help us enjoy some old standards like the blueberry pancake recipe in this post. My sister-in-law gave me the beautiful cookbook, Gluten Free and Easy, a couple of years ago for Christmas and it has a variety of tasty recipes. My daughter loves to cook for me so she has promised to make me these pancakes for Mother’s Day.

Easter Egg Decorating Idea #3: Painted Bling Eggs

Kids Easter Eggs

What’s in Your Craft Closet?

I was at Michael’s last week to pick up some river stones for our bathroom sink, what a neat idea to freshen up a room and add a spa feel, but that’s another post! Of course, I walked right by the Easter craft display. There was a bag of papier mache eggs that caught my eye, along with some felt rickrack in gorgeous spring colors. So I picked them up, not knowing what I would do with them but sure I could figure something out.

Easter Egg Decorating Idea # 2 – Doodled Eggs

Doodling on Easter Eggs

Easter is one of my favorite holidays and I have such fond memories of decorating eggs with my mom and then enjoying the huge Easter egg hunts at Granny’s house with all of my many cousins. This year I wanted to find some more creative Easter egg decorating ideas, although I am sure we will dye eggs as well, the kids will demand it! Did you see the beautiful papier mache eggs that Maggie and I made in Egg Decorating Idea #1?
