PERFECT MOTHER’S DAY BRUNCH RESTAURANTS IN BREVARD

Being a parent is hard work! Sometimes, the hardest work comes after work; getting everyone situated, studied, fed and into bed. Even on the weekends, mom never seems to have a day off. So, on that one day a year we call Mother’s Day, mom deserves at least the world! But if the entire world is out of your reach, even a simple brunch will do.

Whether you are a child, a spouse or a friend, treat the moms in your life this Mother’s Day to a complete day off and start it with brunch! A beautiful brunch or breakfast in bed is always the best way to go and mom will appreciate it more than you will ever know. While catering to mom, keep everyone else in mind, too, by trying these simple recipes that are easy to make and customizable to everyone’s taste.

Chef Ercan Ekinci from Green Turtle Market knows a thing or two about brunch, especially for Mother’s Day. “I think for mother, being away from the kitchen is an extra treat,” Ekinci says. “Moms usually cook all throughout the year and this is a special time to take a break to spend with their children and loved ones. Special foods for mom might include quiche, crab cakes, soups, and freshly made salads.”

Here are some recipes that will help you give mom a day off! We’ve also included some great brunch spots below for those who prefer not to cook. Enjoy and have a restful one!
