A Mother’s Day Feast

IMG_1042

I might be the luckiest mom out there as my husband and sons are both fine cooks and doting souls.  Several weeks ago, we went to a local restaurant and I ordered a Monte Cristo sandwich, which I knew only as a savory meal.  Unbeknownst to me, Monte Cristos can also be prepared also sweet.  Since that was the style of the restaurant’s version, I couldn’t eat it.  That incident was the inspiration for the breakfast I was served in bed this morning.

My version had French toast made with challah, Canadian bacon, sliced red onion and a delightful cheese.  It was scrumptious.  The fresh berries were more than just a pop of color. They balanced the flavor perfectly.

My waiter and gift fairy were just as delightful as ever.

The day was easy going and filled with love.  I got to speak with my mom, my mother-in-law and my grandma and spend the day with my sister-in-law and her mother-in-law.  We had the whole gang back for dinner which we ordered in so there was no prep and little clean up.

I felt loved and loving.  I’m surrounded by moms who teach me directly and indirectly and I’m grateful for each and every one of them.
