Hey guys, it’s Phillip here! As Krystin’s husband it’s my goal to make her feel especially loved on Mother’s Day. And as a dad, I want to teach my sons how to one day pamper the woman that they love. So together, we created a guide to making a special Mother’s Day Brunch for mom and it was the perfect way to celebrate our special lady. Can’t cook…no problem! This guide will help you create a super simple meal – mom will still love it and it can be on the table in less than 15 minutes!

Shopping for the Meal

Like always, our first step was to head to Walmart to grab goodies to make our Mother’s Day Brunch.  We picked up her favorite Welch’s Sparkling juice for a special beverage. Welch’s Sparkling juice is festive and comes in a premium glass bottle (that twists off!), making it perfect for all special occasions.  She likes the Welch’s Sparkling juice in the Red Grape flavor.

And have you ever met a person that loved oatmeal raisin cookies more than chocolate chip? If not, then meet my wife. That love carries over to breakfast so we made sure to grab Thomas’ Cinnamon Raisin bagels, which are made of juicy raisins and sweet cinnamon swirl together in a bagel that’s just as good for dessert as it is for breakfast!

Cream cheese on bagel or jam on bagel: which person are you?  Well, Krystin loves both! So I snagged Welch’s Natural Strawberry Spread and whipped cream cheese for spreading.  In the produce department I grabbed fresh fruit and, per my carnivore son’s request, we had to grab some breakfast meat to complete the meal.  But for my fellas who can’t cook, remember that I have your back.  Precooked sausage links will be your best friend.  A few minutes in the microwave, and tada…you are a chef now! 

Preparing the Meal

One thing that I’ve learned as a blogger husband is that the presentation is everything. So as we prepared to serve Brunch we ditched our usual paper plates for real dishes, used a real glass instead of a regular cup, and grabbed one of the marble trays that Krystin uses when she is feeling fancy. If you want to make things look extra nice try this too, since this is a special occasion. So for our special Mother’s Day Brunch, it’s the least we can do!

PS: If you use real dishes, make sure you wash them too.  If not, your wife may not be as happy…just ask me how I know!

We heated the sausage in the microwave, washed and cut the fresh fruit, and lightly toasted the Thomas’ Cinnamon Raisin bagels. And now the meal is ready to plate! We dished the Welch’s Natural Strawberry Spread into a bowl and made it easy for Krystin to add as much as she would like to her bagels. Thomas’ Cinnamon Raisin Bagels are amazing eaten plain, but having toppings for spreading is a nice touch for a special occasion.

And we didn’t forget the Welch’s Sparkling Juice.  We made a quick sugar rimmed glass for serving, because even the smallest details can make the biggest impression. And of course, my little helper gets to have a small cup to make sure it tastes just right for mom! 

And now, in just shy of 15 minutes, Krystin’s Mother’s Day Brunch is complete!  Do you have Mother’s Day plans? This guide to a special Mother’s Day Brunch will help you create a meal that mom will love.
