Sunday brings us the time-honored tradition of celebrating everyone’s favorite person: Mom. Whether it was helping with algebra, forcing you to eat vegetables, or picking you up from school because you wore a Dead Kennedys “In God We Trust Inc.” t-shirt to class, Mom’s always been there to help out along the way. Here’s a few recipes we’ve encountered that you may want to mix up for your mom during Sunday brunch. It’s just a small way of saying “thanks” to a lady who put up so much for so long on your behalf.
