MISSION,
Kan., April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- (Family
Features) There's perhaps no better occasion to show off your
kitchen skills than Mother's Day, a perfect opportunity to turn the
tables on mom and let her relax while you handle cooking duties. A
homemade breakfast – or better yet, letting her sleep in for brunch
– is a sure way to win her over and show how much you care.
Show your delicate side by working up a batch of Apple Ricotta
Crepes, which require a soft touch to cook the light, silky batter
to golden perfection. This rendition of the beloved thin pancakes
calls for a ricotta spread and apple-cinnamon topping for a
delightful pairing of savory and sweet.
If a full Mother's Day celebration is on the menu, something a
bit heartier may be required. A frittata provides the best of both
worlds, as it's a filling meal that's also easy to make – just let
the oven do the work. This Apple, Tomato and Goat Cheese Frittata
is no exception as it calls for a handful of everyday ingredients
you can whisk together in a cinch. While it's in the oven (about 30
minutes, give or take) you can put the finishing touches on your
last-minute decorations and handwritten cards.
Special occasions with those you love can be uplifted with the
aroma and flavor Envy Apples that offer an invitation to savor
small moments around the table. Available at Whole Foods and other
major grocery stores, the craveable texture and crunch of this
leading apple variety provides balanced sweetness as the ultimate
apple experience for Mother's Day gatherings. Along with their
delicious flavor, the flesh remains whiter longer, even after
cutting, slicing, dicing or cubing, so that homemade meals look as
good as they taste.

inspiration.
