Happy Mother's Day to everybody. Let's celebrate this special day with some great food all day long. Here are 20 great recipes that you can do without her help — all with easy to follow step by step photo instructions.
I have our plans in place. I will start with Oven Baked Blueberry Pancakes along with some Oven Baked Sausage. And for the main attraction of the day, there will be a Grilled Porterhouse Steak.
I have my plan, do you have yours? Now is the time to plan and get stocked up. It is time to have a special day for that person who's the core of your family and most likely literally gave birth to you.
Breakfast
The first meal is a great breakfast. Around here that is simple. An oven baked blueberry pancake and a side of breakfast meat. Pop them in the oven while you do something else.
For that special dinner
In this household that is steak. I have many other main dish recipes you can find in the RECIPE INDEX but here are some great steak choices.
Some great steak enhancements.
Side Dishes
Man (or mothers) cannot live by steak alone. Well, my wife may be able to but let's aim for a complete meal.
Sweet Endings
"The Cherry on the Ice Cream" so to speak. And you made it yourself.
Candy Treats
Let's start with a special homemade gift. You don't need to spend a lot to make some homemade candy.
The crock pot fudge is designed for the kids to help (or think they are).
Have a great holiday.

I saw your recipe for Oven Baked Blueberry Pancakes and Oven Baked Sausage about a week ago. Got the ingredients and made both today. This breakfast was really a treat and both my husband and I enjoyed it. Both recipes are keepers! I'm a new subscriber and look forward to trying more of your recipes.

I wish you had a book

Hi Linda,
Welcome to the blog.
You are the second one today with that. But, this is just a hobby that grown. I do get publishing offers (mostly spammy ones). But I'm retired and totally enjoy doing this but a book is like real work. Also, the frequently suggest restaurant is so not what I ever want to do.
So thanks for the comment but it will not happen.
Have a great Mother's Day and stay safe.
Dan
