Being a mother is one of the most challenging, yet rewarding jobs out there. Despite working the early morning shift, the late night shift, and being on call 24/7, mothers are always there to get the job done, and then some. If you’re a Mom, THANK YOU for all that you do! And if you’re looking to show your mom some love and appreciation, a Mother’s Day brunch is just the thing! To help make things easier on you, I’ve compiled a list of 15 delicious and healthy Mother’s Day brunch ideas the whole family will love. (Trust me, I’ve got references!) From sweet to savory and even a cocktail or two, these Mother’s Day recipes will leave a lasting impression with your momma!

Unlike one of the typical Mother’s Day recipes, grilled peaches with mascarpone and honey is a sure-fire way to win some browning points with Mom.
