Over the past few months, I have grown very close to a special group of women. They have watched my son grow up and me grow as a mother and I have watched the same with them. We have been a wonderful support system for one another in a world where our parenting choices are deemed abnormal or overbearing. We have sought understanding and mutual respect from one another and have managed to remain mildly judgement free. So, why not spend one of the most special holidays a mother could have with the greatest moms she knows.
We decided to have a Mother's Day potluck Brunch in hopes of creating a traditional event we could repeat each year. Of course, I will admit that this initial event was meant to be small and intimate, but when you know this many awesome women, it's kind of hard to limit attendance. Thankfully it all worked out wonderfully and I look forward to next year's event.
If you missed out on this event, you have my sincerest apology. It wasn't that some weren't welcome, but more of an invite as the thought arose. And we have plenty of years ahead to catch up!
Alright, enough of the sappy stuff, let's talk about the food. We did a potluck so all of the moms could bring their favorite breakfast treat. There were bagels, muffins, quiche, fruit salad, deviled eggs, croissant french toast pie, baked oatmeal, breakfast casserole, cinnamon rolls, brown sugar bacon, orange juice, apple juice, coffee, tiramasu, mimosas, and pound cake. Of course I saved the pound cake for last to do my little shameless plug for
Cake Seduction.
I think aside from the pound cake, the biggest hits were the brown sugar bacon and the baked oatmeal. I keep meaning to make the baked oatmeal and should probably share those recipes here when I get a chance. But, for now, if you are a member of the group, the
bacon recipe has been posted there.
